Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a Title Tag be?
Google typically displays the first 50-60 characters of a title tag. Keep it under 60 characters to prevent truncation.
What is a Canonical URL?
A canonical tag tells search engines which version of a page is the 'master' copy, preventing duplicate content issues if the same content exists on multiple URLs.
How many H1 tags should I have?
Best practice is to have exactly one H1 tag per page that describes the main topic. While Google says multiple H1s are allowed (html5), one is still recommended for clarity.
Why is my meta description not showing in Google?
Google often rewrites meta descriptions if it thinks a snippet from the page content answers the user's query better than the provided tag.
What is Open Graph (OG)?
Open Graph tags control how your content is displayed when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
Results are generated in real-time. For best accuracy, verify critical issues manually.
