You can add information that search engines will find useful to the page using meta tags, such as a list of keywords and a short description of the page.

You can specify a list of keywords using another <meta> tag, this time with the attribute name assigned the value keywords. Keywords (the most important words from the page content) are listed in the content attribute and separated from each other with commas:

<meta name="keywords" content="important, key, words">

Search engines used to consider this tag to be very important. What is the situation now? We would love to tell you, but this is a big secret that Yandex and Google are keeping from us.

You can write a short description for your page in the same way, using a third <meta> tag, only here the value of the attribute name will be description:

<meta name="description" content="short description">

The brief description (or summary) of the webpage is often used by search engines when displaying search results.

Google and Yandex publish recommended best practices for how to correctly use meta tags.
