Metadata Settingsmeta tags

Treating these settings as optional is a missed opportunity. Metadata controls your site's digital signpost in Google search results and gives AI answer engines immediate context about your content.

Meta Title (Target: 50 to 60 characters)
Your title serves as the clickable headline in search results. Keep it concise, placing your primary neighborhood name or lifestyle feature near the front. Titles exceeding 60 characters get cut off by Google, which looks messy to searchers.

Meta Description (Target: 140 to 160 characters)
This brief summary sits beneath your title in search results and provides AI assistants with a quick snapshot of your page. Write a direct, engaging sentence that gives buyers a clear reason to click. Anything over 160 characters risks getting truncated on screen.

Meta Keywords (Target: 3 to 5 focused phrases)
Traditional search engines like Google ignore this field today. However, emerging AI search tools and specialized discovery agents may still scan explicit metadata tags to parse page topics quickly. Keep your entries brief and tightly aligned with the specific neighborhood features on that page.
