Make your life easier and your rankings higher with Surfer's new feature: Meta Tags! 🚀

Updated over 2 months ago

Are you tired of agonizing over the ✨ "perfect" meta titles and descriptions? Well, you can say goodbye to writer's block and hello to automation!

Surfer's latest shiny new BETA feature, AI Meta Titles and Descriptions, is here to take this tedious task off your hands!

But first, what exactly are meta titles and meta descriptions? Let's break it down.

Meta Tags: Explained

Imagine that you're a kid with a bunch of toy boxes, but they all look the same to you. It's kinda tricky to pinpoint which one has your favorite toy car, teddy bear, or building blocks, right?

That's where your meta tags come in. They're like labels for your toy boxes but for your pages!

Your meta title is the big, eye-catching label on the front of your box, which tells Google the main topic of your page.

Your meta description is the smaller label on the front of the box that gives you a little more information about what is in the box. For example, it tells you what kind of toys are inside so you know what to expect. This tells Google a bit more about your page, like the sort of information your audience will find in it.

They're HTML tags that live on your page and tell search engines (and your audience) what your page is all about.

A compelling meta title and description can significantly boost your click-through rate from search results, driving more traffic to your site. 🚀

Meta Tags: Step-by-Step and Expectations

So, what do you have to do to get these meta tags? 🤔

The answer is... Nothing different!

Simply create an article as you normally would in Content Editor or Surfer AI, and the meta tags will be generated for you. Here's the low-down on this shiny new feature:

  • AI-Powered Automation: Whether you're a seasoned Surfer Pro or a Rookie in the game, our AI will whip up the meta titles and descriptions for all your content. You'll find it just above your H1 in the editor.

  • Import-Friendly: If you import content using Content Editor with existing meta tags in place, Surfer will seamlessly import them along with your content!

  • Error Handling: In the rare event of a hiccup, the meta titles and description fields will appear blank. No need to panic! While there's no option to retry the generation of meta tags automatically, we're already working on it! You can consider it a "one-and-done" deal, but only for now.

  • WordPress Quirks: Exporting to WordPress? Just a heads up that meta tags won't be included in the export... yet! Don't worry! We're ironing out the kinks for future updates. So stay tuned!

  • Your Content Score Stays Put: These AI-generated meta tags won't affect your Content Score, terms, word count, or any other metrics.

Meta Tags: How does this help me?

You might be wondering what this means for you.

With AI-generated meta tags, you can spend less time tweaking meta tags and more time creating awesome content!

Good meta tags can help make your website sound interesting and make people want to click on it. And helping people find your website and encouraging them to click on it, brings you more traffic.

It's like having the best, most colorful labels on all your toy boxes so your friends can easily find the toys they want to play with!
