Meta Tags
Well formed meta tags are important for the search engines. The meta tags are constructed using your data:
(Daycare Name) Daycare (City), (State abbreviation), (zip). (Page Name), Best Daycare
These can be edited and rearranged. If your Daycare name includes the word “Daycare” or something similar delete the word “Daycare” after “(Daycare Name)”.
It is important to include the words that people may be using to find your daycare towards the beginning of these tags. For example potential clients may be using “Daycare in GA 30031”.
“Best daycare” at the end of the title tag can be changed to anything you prefer, but keep it short, the current length is the ideal length for search engines.
The description tag can also be updated, again it is important to keep the tags that are there so that your location information is included. The wording towards the end can be changed to whatever you prefer.
The Page name is included so that each title and description tag on the website is unique. It also helps the search engines to index your website correctly, so should someone be looking for your services they will be sent to your services page.
