- Meta title- A meta title is a brief, descriptive text that summarizes a webpage's content. It appears in search engine results and browser tabs, influencing click-through rates.
The ideal length for the meta title is 50–60 characters. Google starts to cut off the title tag after 50-60 characters. Hence it is a good practice to keep your title tag around this length.
- Meta Keywords- Meta keywords are a set of specific words or phrases that describe the content of a webpage. They are used to help search engines understand the page's topic.
There is no specific limit to the number of meta keywords/tags you can include, but it's generally recommended to keep them relevant and concise.
- Meta description- A meta description is a summary of a webpage's content, typically 150-160 characters long. It appears in search engine results beneath the page title and aims to attract clicks by providing a concise overview.
- Meta image- A meta image (often referred to as an Open Graph image or social media image) is an image specified in the metadata of a webpage that appears when the page is shared on social media platforms.
- URL- URL or meta URL refers to the web address specified in the metadata of a webpage, often used to indicate the canonical URL or the primary link for the content.
Step 7. Once you have updated all the details, click the save button in the top right corner.
Step 8. After creating your categories, you can easily create sub-categories by dragging and dropping. Click on the six dots (as shown in "14"), then gently drag to the right and release. This will create your sub-category. You can create up to three levels of sub-categories.
