How to use the meta tag generator
- Type or paste your page title in the first field. Keep it under 60 characters so Google shows the full title in search results.
- Write a meta description that summarises the page in 120-155 characters. The live counter warns you when you pass the recommended length.
- Enter the page URL, OG image URL and site name. These populate the Open Graph and Twitter Card tags.
- Choose the content type (website, article, blog post or product) and set your robots and Twitter Card preferences.
- The HTML output updates instantly in the right panel. Check the Google SERP preview and social share preview to see how your page will look.
- Click Copy HTML and paste the tags into the
<head>section of your page.
Understanding meta tags for SEO
Meta tags tell search engines and social platforms what your page is about. The three most important tags for SEO are the title tag, the meta description and the canonical tag.
The title tag is one of the strongest on-page ranking signals. It appears in the browser tab, in Google search results and when people share your link. Keep it between 50 and 60 characters. Front-load your primary keyword and make the title compelling enough to earn a click.
The meta description does not directly affect rankings, but it influences click-through rate. Google shows roughly 150-160 characters of the description in search results. Write a clear, benefit-driven summary with a call to action. If you leave it blank, Google will auto-generate one from your page content, and it often looks worse.
The canonical tag tells Google which version of a URL is the original when duplicate or near-duplicate pages exist (e.g. with and without trailing slashes, or with query parameters). It prevents diluted rankings.
The robots meta tag controls whether a page gets indexed and whether search engines follow its links. The default is index, follow. Use noindex for pages like thank-you screens or admin panels that you do not want appearing in search results.
Open Graph tags explained
Open Graph (OG) tags control how your page looks when someone shares it on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and other platforms. Without them, these platforms pull a title, description and image automatically, and the result is usually wrong or ugly.
The four required OG tags are og:title, og:description, og:image and og:url. The image should be at least 1200 x 630 pixels for a large preview card. og:type tells the platform whether the page is a website, article or product. og:site_name adds your brand name above the title in the share card.
Twitter Card tags work the same way but for Twitter (X). summary_large_image shows a large image above the title, while summary shows a small square thumbnail beside the text. If Twitter Card tags are missing, Twitter falls back to your OG tags.
