Why use it

The tags search engines and social networks read first.

Meta tags tell Google what to show in results, tell crawlers what to index, and tell Facebook, LinkedIn and X what to show when someone shares your link.

SEO and social in one place

Title, description, canonical and robots for search, plus Open Graph and Twitter Card tags for link previews, written from the same fields so they never disagree.

Valid, escaped HTML

Quotes, ampersands and angle brackets in your text are escaped, so a title with a quote mark won't break the tag or the page.

Only the tags that do something

No meta keywords, no tags Google ignores dressed up as essentials. Empty fields are left out of the output.

How it works

Fill a form, paste the head.

  3. 3

    Copy the HTML

    Copy or download the tags and paste them into your page's head, or your CMS's custom code field.

Guide

Meta tags, what each one actually does.

Plenty of meta tags exist. Only a handful matter for search and sharing. This is what each tag in the generator is for.

What are meta tags?

Meta tags are snippets of HTML in a page's head that describe the page to browsers, search engines and social platforms. Visitors don't see them on the page, but they shape how the page appears in search results and link previews.

Strictly, the title is its own element and the canonical is a link tag, but they're written in the same place and usually discussed together, so the generator includes them.

Which meta tags matter for SEO?

Google's documentation lists the tags it supports. The ones most pages need are short.

Title
The main source of the blue title link in Google results. Unique per page, roughly under 60 characters.
Meta description
Often used as the snippet under the title. Not a ranking factor, but it affects clicks.
Meta robots
Controls indexing and snippets: noindex keeps a page out of results, nofollow tells crawlers not to follow its links, max-snippet and max-image-preview limit what Google shows.
Canonical
Names the preferred URL when the same content is reachable at several addresses. A strong hint, not a command.
Viewport
Makes the page display properly on phones. Google indexes the mobile version of pages, so this is essential.
Charset
Declares the character encoding, normally utf-8, so text displays correctly.

Does the meta keywords tag still matter?

No. Google has ignored the meta keywords tag for ranking since 2009, and a stuffed one only shows competitors your target keywords. The generator leaves it out on purpose.

Open Graph tags

Open Graph is a protocol created by Facebook that most platforms now read: Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, iMessage and others. When a link is shared, these tags supply the preview's title, description and image.

The four core properties are og:title, og:type, og:image and og:url. Add og:description and og:site_name for a complete card. A share image of 1200 × 630 pixels works well across platforms.

Twitter Card tags

X (Twitter) reads its own twitter: tags and falls back to Open Graph for anything missing. The tag that matters most is twitter:card, which sets the layout: summary_large_image for a full-width image, or summary for a small square thumbnail.

twitter:site is your brand's handle and twitter:creator is the author's. Both are optional.

noindex, nofollow and when to use them

Use noindex on pages that shouldn't appear in search results: thank-you pages, internal search results, staging copies, thin tag archives. The page must stay crawlable for Google to see the noindex, so don't also block it in robots.txt.

nofollow in a meta robots tag applies to every link on the page and is rarely what you want. To mark individual links, use rel="nofollow", "sponsored" or "ugc" on the link itself.

Where to put meta tags

Inside the head element of each page, before the closing head tag. In WordPress, an SEO plugin such as Yoast or Rank Math writes most of these for you. In Webflow, Shopify, Framer and similar builders, the page settings have SEO and Open Graph fields, plus a custom code slot for anything else.

After publishing, check the live page with the Open Graph Checker to confirm the social tags are actually there.
