Geo Meta Tags are really important in SEO? how we can set up location wise for the website. For example our address (Toronto ON M2N 6K1 Canada)

They look like

<meta name="geo.position" content="latitude; longitude">
<meta name="geo.placename" content="Place Name">
<meta name="geo.region" content="Country Subdivision Code">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="period">

These are optional tags

    Geo Meta Tags are important for local business and service providers.
    In your case it should like this:

    <meta name=”geo.position” content=”43.7647604; -79.4128902“>
    <meta name=”robots” content=”index, follow” />
    <meta name=”revisit-after” content=”daily”>
    You can use this site: Google Maps - Find GPS coordinates, longitude, latitude, altitude to know latitude and longitude.

    If you're concerned about geo rankings make sure your language tag is set properly in the <html> tag, eg en-gb or fr-be for country specific language sites.
    You should also look at implementing hreflang tags if you have pages for multiple countries or languages.
