There is no particular tag that you can depend on for SEO but, there are some important tags you should never miss. Like the title, robots, canonical, img alt etc. If you use a plugin like yoast on wordpress, you will see it will show what tags you missed.

Title an Description tags are like those clickbaity thumbnails on Youtube. If you don't see them you don't click them. Depending on the query title and description are the key for you sucess if well treated (and Google may not even respect your proposal always)
Can anyone confirm me that I've read this in that comment?

Title tag and Meta description tag
Keyword stuffing is the way to go, bro! I hope Matt Cutts won't change the interwebs, so we can stay in 2006 forever.

Alternative Text Tag
To ensure that search engines can understand the content of your website's images, it is important to utilize alternative text (alt text). Alt text provides a descriptive text tag for images, allowing search engines to comprehend the image's context and relevance.
Including alt text tags on your website is crucial as it enables you to incorporate engaging graphics without negatively impacting your SEO efforts. When creating alt text for your website, follow this syntax:
```html
<img src="http://example.com/xyz.jpg" alt="xyz" />
```
Here are some tips to optimize your alt text tags:
1. Always provide a proper description: Describe the image accurately and informatively, ensuring it aligns with the content and purpose of the image. Avoid keyword stuffing in alt text.
2. Use informative filenames: Give your image files meaningful names that convey their content. This can further enhance the context of the image for search engines.
3. Be clear and concise: Keep your alt text brief and focused, providing a clear and concise description of the image. Avoid unnecessary details or excessive text.
4. Create an image sitemap: Include your images in an image sitemap to help search engines discover and index them more effectively.
5. Limit character count: Aim to use 50-55 characters or up to 16 words in your alt text. This ensures that the text remains concise and doesn't overwhelm the image or affect the user experience.
6. Optimize file size: Use image files with an average or small file size to maintain faster page loading speeds. However, be cautious not to compromise the image's resolution or quality.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively optimize your alt text tags, enabling search engines to comprehend your website's images and improve the overall visibility and accessibility of your content.

Other important ones that I use in every post:
