How To Add Geo Location Meta Tags to a Website

How to Add a Geo Location Meta Tag to a Website - Before installing a meta geo tagging into the html header of the site, you should first understand its functions and benefits, <meta> geo tagging embedded into the website html actually aims to determine the physical location or the real location of the website ( company or website management site).

By placing a geo tag location on a web page or RSS feed, you have provided information to users and search engines about the geographical location of the site. Geo tagging metadata can also refer to the location of pages and media of site objects such as captions of photos, videos etc.

The most obvious benefit obtained from meta geo tagging is to reduce or streamline the level of competition in the local search results page, so that local businesses / sites have the opportunity to surf in the search results page.

Meta geo tagging is very effective if placed on business sites such as website restaurants, travel and the like. Now meta geo tagging is being hailed as a practical local seo, although actually search robots also sometimes ignore meta geo tagging if judged by the accuracy of geographic location accuracy. low.

Example of Geotagging Metadata
  • <meta content="ID-KR"  name="geo.region"/>
  • <meta content="Batam"  name="geo.placename"/>
  • <meta content="1.130078;104.052921" name="geo.position"/>
  • <meta content="1.130078, 104.052921" name="ICBM"/>
To get or make meta geo tagging with a high degree of accuracy, I strongly recommend using online tools such as Geo Tag Generator, in some cases site managers only copy meta geo tag locations from other sites and then place them on their websites.

And of course that's wrong behavior and it's not useful for a website because the meta geo tagging of the copy will be considered inaccurate so that search robots can just ignore it.

Meta Geo Tag Location Page of Blogger Article
I think you have also paid attention to the location feature on the right side of the blogger post editor, the principle of the location feature in the blogger post editor as well as the meta geo tagging function to determine the location of the content or blogger post, the targeted location can be a special or more general place such as street, city, province or country location, like the example in the picture below;

The best practice for determining the geo location of blogger site content is to adapt it to the topic of the article's purpose, if you are writing about Jakarta then it is recommended that the geo location of the article is also tagged to the location of Jakarta. If the content is a local business, the location determination should be more detailed to the physical place of the business.

Open Graph Optional Metadata
In addition to the location meta tag above, it is also recommended to add the more general og: locale meta tag property that is recommended by Open Graph as below;
  • <meta property="og:locale" content="en_GB" />
  • <meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="fr_FR" />
  • <meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="id_ID" />
The og: locale property is very common and optional for any object such as article, photo, audio and video content and generally its application is recommended. You can combine the three geo tagging methods above to increase the presence of the website and site content on the results page.

I think this is enough to be used as a reference to understand the meta geo tagging and how to set the geo tag metadata on a website page. You may want to learn specifically about meta geo tagging elsewhere, but I strongly recommend that you study it in advance on the official link that I have attached to this article to support the application of meta geo tagging on your site.
