We think this is quite a handy tool to check if your website has been created correctly. You can also use this tool to check individual pages on your website. You may have a very important product or services on another page, so try entering the website address for that page, to see if it is providing he right information to Google and other search engines.
Understanding your Meta Tag Analysis results

They currently come top of Google for office furntiture. Being No1 on Google will not be a direct result of all the things you will see in their report, but getting them right certainly helps.
Google PageRank
3. PageRank – You may find that your website has a Google Page Rank. If it does, then congratulations.
Google say that “PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.”
So the higher the better. The BBC are PageRank 9 but if you are achieving 3,4, or 5 then you are doing ok.
Meta Tags / Keywords
The next section of the report shows the Meta Tags and keywords that hopefully you have discussed with your web team and they will have setup for you. A Meta keyword provides information about a web page, to help search engines find them and categorise them correctly.
You can see the keywords for officesupermarket.co.uk above. Make sure that your keywords and other meta tags (Titles & Descriptions) are relevant to your customers, so that your website can be found by Search Engines.
4. Meta Tag Title – This is the Title of your website as seen in a search engine listing. Make sure it is relevant to your business! (also see point 7)
5.Meta Tag Description – This describes what your business does and appears below your website title in search results (also see point 7)
6. Meta Tag Keywords – What will people type into Google to find your website. OfficeFurniture seem to be using general product names.
Search Engine Listing
7. Search Engine Display – This is how your website will show up on a Search Engine Listing. Make sure it has all the key information, but remember space and number of characters are limited.
Important – Meta Tag Relevancy
