SEO metadata is the information that describes a webpage to search engines and guides how it appears in search results. The fields typically involved include the title tag, which defines the page title shown in the search results and the browser tab; the meta description, a concise summary that often appears under the title as the snippet; the canonical URL, which signals the preferred version of the page to prevent duplicate content issues; robots directives, which control whether search engines index the page or follow its links; and structured data (schema.org markup), which provides explicit details about page content to enable rich results like ratings, events, or product information. These elements live in the HTML head and help search engines understand the page and present it in a compelling way to users. Other items like navigation links or image alt text serve important purposes but do not constitute the full set of SEO metadata described here.
