Hello, I am building a website that insurance agents can build personal profile pages through my site. I would like these pages to be search engine friendly as such I have built a meta-tagging section for the title, description and keywords. Does anyone know the golden standard as to how many characters are recommended for all of these categories and what search engines prefer what?? This is so that I can add this information to the agent pages so that they will better know how much to place in these areas (and what).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

Placement of Metatags:



A ranking or search order does take place with Google

and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which

should consist of no more than 65 characters separated

by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic

terms, the goods and services, followed by a location

from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.

The placement of a domain name which is not generic

within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your

domain name is a major recognizable brand name.



The second metatag is the "Description" which is

usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which

best describes one's goods and services.



And the very last category - "Keywords" are also

somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural

and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries

which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which

is defined as the loading, and submission of

repetitive words into a particular metatag category.

"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported

to Google's spamreport.com can result in the

elimination of your website from their search

directory.



Good luck!

70 characters for the page title and 160 for the meta description. No limit on keywords, but to avoid looking like a spammy site you should limit it to 8-10 keywords.

It's over 2 years since you asked the question but I'm hoping you have the new Shopify system now which includes the ability to input your own meta titles, descriptions and headings in the back end of the Shopify console. The XML sitemap is also automatically generated and it also provides you the ability to create linking via the toolbar.

Your Title of the page should be informative.



Typically saying the following are the detalis, for what you asked



Title: 70 characters

Description: 15 - 20 words

Keywords: 8 - 10 words
