About the Free Meta Tag Generator
Meta tags are snippets of HTML code in a page's <head> that give search engines and social platforms structured information about the page. They affect how your page appears in Google search results, Facebook shares, Twitter cards, and LinkedIn previews. Getting them right is one of the highest-ROI on-page SEO activities.
What is the ideal title tag length?
Google typically displays 50–60 characters. Longer titles get truncated with "…". Our counter turns amber at 61 characters and red at 70.
What is the ideal meta description length?
120–155 characters is the sweet spot. Google may rewrite descriptions that are too short, too long, or don't match search intent.
Do meta keywords still matter for SEO?
No — Google has ignored the keywords meta tag since 2009. However, some minor search engines still use it. We include the field for completeness.
What is Open Graph?
Open Graph (og:) tags control how your page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and other social platforms. The og:image should be 1200×630px.
What is a Twitter Card?
Twitter Cards define how URLs appear when shared on Twitter/X. "Summary with Large Image" is the most visually impactful format and shows a large preview image.
About the Meta Tag Generator
Our free meta tag generator creates the HTML code for all essential meta tags: title, description, keywords, Open Graph tags (for Facebook and LinkedIn), Twitter Card tags, robots directives, and canonical URLs. Paste the generated code directly into the <head> section of any web page to improve its search engine visibility and social media appearance.
Meta tags are invisible HTML elements that provide information about a web page to search engines and social media platforms. While users don't see meta tags directly, they determine what appears in Google search results, how a page looks when shared on Facebook or Twitter, and how search engine crawlers should index the page.
Meta Tags Explained
- Title tag — The most important SEO element. Appears as the blue clickable headline in Google search results. Should be 50–60 characters, include the primary keyword, and describe the page's content.
- Meta description — The brief description shown below the title in search results. Should be 150–160 characters, compelling, and relevant to the page content. Does not directly affect rankings but impacts click-through rate.
- Meta keywords — A comma-separated list of keywords. No longer used by Google for ranking, but still used by some minor search engines and internal site search systems.
- Robots — Tells search engines whether to index the page (index/noindex) and whether to follow its links (follow/nofollow). Use
noindexfor private pages you don't want in search results. - Canonical URL — Tells search engines which URL is the "official" version of a page, preventing duplicate content issues when the same content is accessible at multiple URLs.
- Open Graph tags — Control how your page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and other platforms. Set a title, description, image, and content type.
- Twitter Card tags — Control how your page appears when shared on Twitter/X. Choose between Summary and Summary with Large Image card types.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do meta keywords still matter for SEO?
Not for Google, which stopped using the meta keywords tag for ranking in 2009. However, meta keywords may still influence internal site search, Bing (to a minor extent), and some specialist search engines.
What size should the Open Graph image be?
Facebook recommends 1200×630 pixels for Open Graph images. Smaller images may still work but may appear low quality or be cropped differently across platforms.
What is the ideal title tag length?
Google typically displays 50–60 characters of a title tag in search results. Titles longer than 60 characters may be truncated. Include your primary keyword near the beginning of the title.
Do I need Twitter Card meta tags?
If you share your pages on Twitter/X and want them to display with an image and description (rather than as a plain link), yes. Twitter Card tags significantly improve the appearance and click-through rate of shared links.
