{% hint style="info" %}

  {% endhint %}

### What is it?

Meta tags provide information for search engines to understand the content and relevance of a webpage. This help improve site rankings and visibility in search results.&#x20;

Meta tags include title and description.

### How to create meta tags?

We help you to set up meta tags faster with best practices for all of your pages at once.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Meta tags you set up in Avada SEO Suite will replace your default content ([Search engine listing](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/seo/adding-keywords)[ in Shopify](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/seo/adding-keywords)) when you create product, collection or blog.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

We have Meta tags basic and Meta tags rule.

* Meta tags basic: Set up content with [dynamic variables](https://docs.avada.io/seo-suite-help-center/search-appearance/meta-tags/variables) for product, collection page and blog. Content will **stay consistent across all products or collections**.
* Meta tags rule: Set up content to each product, collection page and blog based on your rules. You can set up **different content for each products.**

{% hint style="info" %}
If you're using Meta tags basic, you can still set unique content for one page by using [custom meta tags](https://docs.avada.io/seo-suite-help-center/search-appearance/meta-tags/custom-meta-tags).
{% endhint %}

### Multi-language meta tags

This feature lets you create meta tags for different languages, making your website's meta titles and descriptions responsive to the all languages of your site.&#x20;

For example, if your store supports English, Spanish, and French, you can set up different meta tags for each language.

{% hint style="info" %}
We don't offer automatic translation for meta tags. You need to add the content for each language manually.
{% endhint %}

This ensures that search engines display the most relevant meta information based on the visitor's language and helps:

* **Better SEO:**\
  Search engines show the right meta tags for each language. This helps your store rank higher in search results.
* **Better user experience:**\
  Visitors see meta titles and descriptions in their language. This makes your store look professional and easy to understand.
* **More clicks:**\
  Users are more likely to click your store link if they see it in their language.

{% hint style="info" %}
The list of languages available for setting up meta tags are **published languages** in your Shopify store.

How to check your languages of your store: In Shopify Admin, click **Settings** -> **Language** and set up your languages.&#x20;
