Are the following three sentences okay in English?
THE STEVENSON CLASSIFICATION
Great for implementing in a search engine.
Exceptionally good for describing metadata.
I would like to know whether the 3 sentences mentioned above make sense (in the context of a slide in a presentation) and to check that no mistake is in it. Please advice. Thank you.

It's okay that they are 'incomplete sentences' because it's a slideshow presentation. We call these 'titles' (the first one) and 'fragments' (the second two).
I'm not quite sure what the Stevenson Classification is, but "implementing in" should probably be changed to 'use in' if you use the Stevenson Classification for something... or 'implementation in' if you really must use that word, but it sounds awkward to me, possibly because I don't know the subject matter.

The items you refer to as sentences are sentence fragments. A sentence requires a subject and a verb. "The Stevenson Classification" is a title, is speaks of no action or state of being. I would suggest that you combine the three fragments in this way:
The Stevenson Classification is great for implementing in a search engine and exceptionally good for describing metadata.
If you notice, I added the verb "is" after "Classification," and the conjunction "and" between engine and exceptionally.

They are all incomplete sentences.
