    Hi there,

    Meta tags are quite easy to set up within the code of your website, at the top of your HTML file you should be looking to include the following:

    <head>
    <title>This is the title of my website</title>
    <meta name="description" content="This is a brief description of your website, it would show up in search engine results and should not be longer than a sentence or two.">
    <meta name="keywords" content="meta, meta tags, tags">
    </head>
    
    Code (markup):
    Including the main keyword of your website within both your title and your description can help very, very slightly in search engines I believe. However, on the whole the meta tags section isn't really used all that much these days. Select keywords that you mention on your page and that could help a little, random keywords that aren't relevant to your content will do nothing though.

    I hope that was what you were looking for. Please do let us know if you need any more information on any area of meta tags. :)
