where to find meta description and key word pages

Hi There,
Here’s how to find the Title in the sea of HTML code on your webpage.
First, go to the page in your browser. On a Windows computer, you’ll right click your mouse and select “View Source” or “View Page Source.” Source code is just a fancy way to say you want to view the raw HTML code (and any other code that’s on your page).
Once the browser loads the source code, then you’ll see something like the image below. The webpage Title is everything between <title> and </title>.
The webpage Meta Description is what search engines will display in the search results below your Title. This is a critical element because your prospects will use your description to determine whether or not to click on your listing. A compelling description will earn you more clicks, which in turn, will help improve your rankings even further.
But there’s one little catch. It’s impossible to see your Meta Description by simply visiting your webpage. Browsers do NOT display the Meta Description. Only search engines read and use this information.
So again we need to view the source code (aka HTML code) just like we did to find the Title. But instead of searching for <title>, we’re going to search for “<meta name=”description” ….”
Finally, there is a lot of confusion regarding webpage Headers versus Titles. The webpage Title is displayed by your browser and search engines like Google use it as the title of your listing in the search results.
Webpage Headers are key headlines on the page (think of newspaper headlines). The top Header is between <h1> and </h1>. Then lesser headlines are between <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, etc. Since Headers generally include important information, Google and other search engines use them to determine if your webpage is relevant for certain keywords. That’s why it’s important to use your target keyword and variations of your keyword in your webpage Headers.
We already walked through how to find your webpage Title and Meta Description, and finding headers is no different. Simply view the page source and find the <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc. That’s it!
hope it clears your query.
Thanks
