SEO metadata is what appears on search engine result pages (SERP) when a website comes up for certain queries. It includes the title of the page and its metadescription .

Metadata is information that's kept in the HTML code of a web page specifically for search engines to better understand what that page is about (but there's also a human element, which I'll discuss later). It consists of a title (<title>) tag, a meta description and a meta keywords tag.
