  Hi there,

  I’ve been using WordPress for three years with a personal site, but I’m still a bit confused on the SEO front. Apologies if I come across a bit thick with this!

  I can’t get a meta-tag description for my site, all I get is a bit of copy for each blog post I publish. This means my site’s kind of aimlessly floating about as I cover a wide variety of topics. Something solid which sticks, where I can add the right keywords, would be a big help.

  I can’t install SEO Yoast, apparently as this isn’t allowed for personal users, but I’m likely losing a lot of traffic from a potential audience as there isn’t a definitive meta-tag for Google’s algorithms to crawl.

  Any pointers will be much appreciated, thank you!

  From the WordPress support docs:

  WordPress.com automatically generates an XML sitemap for your website and supports webmaster tools validation through meta tags. Themes on WordPress.com generate the necessary markup on each page.

  Here’s the guide on how to setup the Google webmaster tools with WordPress.com:
