What are meta tags
Meta tags are tags placed between <head> and </head> in the theme of websites, which often begin with a prefix <meta…. Some of these meta tags direct web crawlers to collect information about that website and some meta tags affect the navigation of the website. Therefore, some meta tags form the structural framework of the website, while some meta tags participate in the functional process of the website. The SEO of the website is enhanced by using meta tags appropriately. So, I am describe in the article for important Meta tags for Blogger site.
If you have created your blog website on blogger.com, then whatever theme you are using in your website, some meta tags are included in it, and you have to add some meta tags to it yourself. There is also a need to change some of the already attached metatags in Thi, which you can easily add or move by opening the edit HTML of the theme of Blogger Dashboard.

Before making changes to the coding of the theme, you should download a backup of the theme, so that if you make a mistake and do not understand it, you can restore that backup.
