Let's go over this one by one and explain what you are looking at. 

You want everything to show green like this if it is red fix the area's it tells you to or that are red. Need help ask me!

1st: Title The title states what I have as the Home page Title nothing fancy there.  As you can see there are different boxes the one with the header that says Meta Tags Analysis, Title Shows no errors and contains 29 Characters. (GOOD). Relevance of Page Content is 100% this is what you want to see every time. Meaning your page and the title match perfectly.

2nd: Description: The description is where you set what is on your page, I must stress use words that are on your page not just anything that pops in your head. My home page description states I have 155 Characters with no errors. This is great. The meta tag relevance to page content is a 95% ( you want this number to be between 90 and 100%) 

To get your Description Meta Tag Relevance between 90 % and 100 % you must make sure to use words that are on your page in the content area use them as often as you can on the page. Do not make it sound like a robot but make sure you have words that are on your page 2 to 5 times and those words are put in the description 1 time a piece. 

3rd: Keywords: Keywords are what you will use to describe the content of your page (use words that are in the content) make these words strong and make sure they are found in the content area of the page. View the keywords I have take note of these and what is on my home page that will better explain what you are looking for with your own. 

It shows I have Keywords meta tag contains no errors.
This tag contains 19 keywords and 255 characters. This is really good. Now your percent may not always be 100% on this one or even past where mine is just make sure it is past 70% it will put you higher up. 

Keywords meta tag relevancy to page content is good.
The keywords meta tag relevancy to page content is 79%.

Again, we see the meta tag relevance to page content this is because everything you use for the SEO of your site has to be related to the content on your page. If the content is not related to your Title, Description, and Meta Keywords the likelihood of you being found through a search drops and let's face it we can not afford to loose out on views.
