Editing those fields will help to improve your SEO and appearance on search results.

Example: 

Meta Title – Often used as the title in search results. It's recommended to keep it shorter between 55 and 65 characters long. Your meta title should give users a brief, concise and comprehensible impression of what the page is about and why it is relevant for them. Contain the most important keywords for the SEO of your webpage (guide); the most important keyword should always come first.
In total, up to four keywords can be used. Word repetitions and spelling errors should be avoided. Moreover, if the title consists of several terms, they should not be separated by a hyphen, but rather by a vertical line "|". 

Description – A meta description is used to describe the content of a web page. Meta descriptions will appear below the page title and URL in the search engine results (Google, etc.)
Here are a few quick tips to help you write a powerful Meta Description:
