Meta data, including meta titles and descriptions, plays a crucial role in SEO by helping search engines understand the content of your pages and influencing click-through rates from search engine result pages (SERPs).

Here are key strategies to optimise your meta data effectively:

1. Create Unique and Descriptive Titles Each page should have a unique title that accurately describes its content. Include primary keywords relevant to the page’s content.

2. Optimal Length Keep titles between 50-60 characters to ensure they are fully displayed in SERPs without being truncated. Keep descriptions between 150-160 characters to ensure they are fully displayed in SERPs.

3. Compelling and Click-Worthy Craft titles that are not only descriptive but also enticing to encourage users to click. Use action words and create a sense of urgency or benefit.
