A page needs a title of roughly 50–60 characters, a meta description of 150–160, a canonical URL, and Open Graph plus Twitter Card tags pointing at a 1200×630 image. The keywords meta tag has been ignored by Google since 2009 and can safely be left out.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag be?
Around 50–60 characters. Google truncates by pixel width rather than character count, so the live preview is a better guide than counting.
How long should the meta description be?
About 150–160 characters. It does not directly affect rankings, but a compelling description raises click-through rate, which does matter.
Do I still need the keywords meta tag?
No. Google has ignored it since 2009. It is harmless but pointless — spend the effort on the title and description instead.
What image size works for Open Graph?
1200×630 pixels is the safe standard. It renders correctly on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and as a large Twitter card.
