Tip 2 Talk hair right from the start
Your website full of hair extensions, bundle deals and information on maintenance is the collection of many pages, webpages. Search engines are not searching for websites, but for a page that has the information that matches with the need of the person who typed a key word or phrase in the search bar.
See the search result for how to sell hair extensions, you do not see only one website, but various results of individual webpages.
Make it clear from the start what you are sharing on your webpage, you start with your page title. The page title (include in the <title> tag) should be unique for each page and tell the viewer where the page is about.
This is also important because the page title is displayed in the search results of Google or Bing. This will be the first thing people will see and read about your store.
Check for all your pages, does this text explain in a split second what’s about and is it attractive enough? The lengths should be around 50 to 60 characters to be sure no cut of will take place.
If you service clients in a specific area, it’s smart to include in every page your location.

Every search result shows in short the what the page is about, this helps the viewer to decide if she should click on the link of the search result or not. Google for example might use your summary (in the meta tag) to display with the search result. But if google has the opinion a better piece of text is available they can override your meta tag description.
