What are the most important meta tags for SEO?

The most impactful: title tag (in head, not a meta tag), meta description (affects CTR but not ranking directly), canonical URL (prevents duplicate content penalties), and Open Graph tags (improves click-through from social). Viewport meta is essential for mobile.

What does the robots meta tag do?

The robots meta tag (or X-Robots-Tag HTTP header) controls crawler behavior per page. Common values: index/noindex (whether to index the page), follow/nofollow (whether to follow links). Use noindex for duplicate content, admin pages, and thank-you pages.

Should I use the meta keywords tag?

No. Meta keywords have been ignored by Google since 2009 and give no SEO benefit. They may even help competitors identify your target keywords. Omit them entirely from your meta tag setup.
