<\/span>What Is the Meta Keywords Tag?<\/span><\/h2>

The meta keywords tag is an HTML meta element placed in the <head><\/code> section of a page, designed to declare a list of keywords that describe the page\u2019s content.<\/p><\/blockquote>

It typically looks like this:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<meta<\/span> name<\/span>=<\/span>“keywords”<\/span> content<\/span>=<\/span>“seo, meta keywords, search engine optimization”<\/span>><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Even though it sits next to other metadata, it\u2019s fundamentally different from the Page Title (Title Tag)<\/a> because it was never meant to be a user-facing signal\u2014only a crawler hint.<\/p>

<\/span>What it was supposed to communicate?<\/span><\/h3>

In theory, a webmaster could use the tag to give search engines a clean summary of \u201cwhat this page is about\u201d:<\/p>
