    Yes meta tags are important for a website. If you have fully optimized your website's meta tags then search engines will prefer it in search results because when crawlers visit a website they crawl from top to bottom and they found meta tags they will definitely pick your website for its relevant query

    I've heard meta keywords aren't important at all. The rest of them are pretty important for on-page optimization, though.

    What is important about the meta tags is they tell the spiders what the page is about. When a spider first hits a site it reads the title / meta tags first (or near enough).

    The Title tag should describe the page within a few words, the Description should describe the page in a couple of sentances and the keywords should be relevant to the page in question.

    Basically keep all title / description tags different and relevant to the page, same as the keywords.

    Meta tags are useful because it contains all targeted keywords especially meta title is very important for the Google crawler. The meta tile and description shows in Google SERPs.

    It should be noted that Google does not put as much emphasis on meta tags as they used to.

    All the keywords targeted are included in meta tags.So that if the Google crawler catches it,the site will get more benefits.

    If someone wants to rank well on organic search, they really need to concentrate on the following:
    Title tag-can use up to 64 characters for keywords
    URL- make sure your domain has at least one keyword or phrase/site name
    H1 tag-include an H1 tag on your page that basically parallels the title tag key words
    Blog- write content on a blog and 'ping' after every post
    Alt tag all your pictures with descriptions and key words
    Add video to your site- make a video (use Animoto for rookies) and upload to Youtube, keyword description of the video, and embed on your site.

    This has worked consistently for my clients and one blog post I put up today was indexed in 18 minutes. Contact me if you need help.

    Meta tags are important for both crawler and users. It shows about your page in the snippet when a user searches for a particular keyword. Most of the crawlers are paying much more importance to the meta tags. This is the reason that Meta tags plays a very vital role in SEO.

    Thanks,

    In the search engine optimization community, meta tags are regarded as a must-have for all web pages. Granted, meta tags cannot not guarantee a high position in search engine results pages. However, they do give you considerable control over how your website is displayed. And if necessary, they enable you to prevent your website from being indexed at all.

    Meta tags will help you to focus more keywords by doing link building work, more over it helps you to focus targeted audience by focusing targeted keywords.

    Meta tags can allow you to manage whether or not search engines index an exacting page of your sites. The meta tag and keywords tags should include keywords applicable to the content of the page they explain.
