# Meta Tag

Meta tags are areas in HTML code that contain information about a website.

Meta tags are areas in HTML code that contain information about a website. The information cannot be seen on the [website](/content/academy/glossary/website/index.html) itself. [Search engines](/content/academy/glossary/search-engine/index.html) access certain meta tags so they can, for instance, display a [page title](/content/academy/glossary/page-title/index.html) and description in the [search results](/content/academy/glossary/search-result/index.html).
