What is meta data?

Meta Title
This is usually found in the SEO tab– make sure this provides a quick summation of the page content with your keywords. Keep it short – 60 characters or 3-4 words, and keep the keywords towards the start so people will see these in the search results. Remember that when you're filling this out think of the keywords that people will search in order to find your website. Location is always a vital one.
Meta description
Also found in the SEO tab, this should be a summary of the page, in about 320 characters. Search engines will display this in search results if it is relevant to the query someone has used – but not always - so make it readable, concise, and include your chosen keywords wherever you can.

- Log into the CMS
- Go into the Pages module
