Why are meta tags important?
Meta tags are information that helps to describe a webpage. They represent what materials are available or relevant on a specific page within the website.
This snippet of HTML code, can be added to the head in order to inform search engines that this is a web page about Electronic Testing Equipment with special emphasis on Electron Tubes, so that it can rank higher in search results for those terms.
