    The title tag is the very important to your on page SEO.

    The description tag is less important for SEO but it is very important in getting people to click-through to your site from the search results page.

    The keywords tag is useless when it comes to SEO so you can ignore it.

    Meta tags have their importance but Google doesnt give them priority as compared to Titles, h1 and h2 tags and the description. Try to focus more on titles and header tags instead of meta tags.

    Meta Tags are less important compared to H1 and H2 etc. The Titles descriptions must be prioritized in your On Page Optimization simply this will be the part where the google crawled and indexed the page.

    Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header on a web page, after the title tag. They take a variety of forms and serve a variety of purposes, but in the context of search engine optimization when people refer to meta tags, they are usually referring to the meta description tag and the meta keywords tag.

    I've heard from some of the SEO experts that Google permanently disregarded META TAGS from their basis of ranking a website. And I'm not quite sure about that though. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Ignore the keyword meta tag - it only gives your competitors a gift wrapped insite into your seo strategy. It serves no seo benefits!
