Hi Moz teams and all community members,

I have been thinking that what are the necessary meta tags should I include in the website and all its pages? Please guide me with the detail manner and how important each of these as I found this useful link.

• Are you only targeting to your Site to US. Even if answer is yes, its better to do it through Webmaster by adding up country.

The tag is not much of use, unless a strict parameter to Search Engines are provided for same. Bing might be using same - Google ignores it

Thanks Gagan for your prompt reply,

What do you think over  which is being used by Bing.

Any other important you know , please explain those as well here.

• Title & Description tag - as a good snippet practice to tell search engines and user - what the page all about.

• Meta Robots not required, unless you specifically like to noindex or nofollow the page. By default, all pages without meta robots are considered index, follow

• Meta Charset - though generally this automatically gets generated by templates
