<p>The &lt;meta&gt; tag provides metadata about the HTML document. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but will be machine parsable.</p> <p>Meta elements are typically used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other metadata.</p> <p>The metadata can be used by browsers (how to display content or reload page), search engines (keywords), or other web services.</p> <p> </p> Example <p>Describe metadata within an HTML document:</p> &lt;head&gt;&lt;meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials"&gt;&lt;meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS,XML,JavaScript"&gt;&lt;meta name="author" content="Ståle Refsnes"&gt;&lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;&lt;/head&gt;

You can use <meta> tag to specify important keywords related to the document and later these keywords are used by the search engines while indexing your webpage for searching purpose.

You can use <meta> tag to give a short description about the document. This again can be used by various search engines while indexing your webpage for searching purpose
