## In this tutorial:

[View Front Page Setting](#view-setting) [Set Static Homepage Meta](#static) [Set Latest Posts Meta](#latest)

In this tutorial, we will show you how to **set your Homepage Meta in WordPress**. After [installing the All in One SEO plugin](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/) in WordPress, one of the first things you should do is set your Home Page Meta information. This lets you specify your *Title* and *Description* accurately to search engines. Managing your pages meta tag information is important for when search engines like Google search your site. This is commonly associated with search engine optimization. For more information, see our guide [What are Meta Tags](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/seo/what-are-meta-tags/). First, we will show you how to view your “Front Page” setting, then show you how to setup page meta for the [Static Page](#static) or [Latest Posts](#latest). InMotion now offers managed [WordPress Hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/wordpress-hosting) options for maximizing the performance of your websites.
