Unique & accurate title
The title is used as the “title” meta tag for your Clicklaw pages. It will appear as the first line in Google search results and a descriptive title can help searchers recognize if your Clicklaw page is relevant to them. See Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide.
Accurate summary in the description
This description is used as the “description” meta tag for your Clicklaw pages. Depending on a user’s query, Google might use the description meta tags as snippets for your pages. This is what users see on their Google search results and what help them decide to click through or not. See Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide.
Plain language in the description
Users would understand your description better when it is written in plain language. See Guidelines for Creating Online Legal Information.

Tags for resources
