Meta tags are still important in seo and all major search engines give more preference to meta tags. It plays great role in SERP for a particular keyword therefore it is consider an important part of seo activities.

As a traditional approach of SEO, Meta Tags plays a vital role in SEO. But I think it is one of the aspect required in SEO. You can not depend only upon Meta Tags to rank the website in Search Engines.

Meta tags indicates the search engine bot on what the particular page or site is for. The description that you are providing in the mata tags will be display as Google snippets in SERP's.

Frankly! Speak meta tags without proper meta-content & description is uselss if you dont have any suitable information available in your on-page then uploaded Meta wont make any change to your site unless you spice up your web pages with variety of genuine content based on high scoring keywords! in other words Meta-Tag works in combination to meta description & content
