Meta Tag Generator

Meta tags are small lines of text hidden inside your website's code (the <head> section). Regular visitors cannot see them on the page, but search engine crawlers read them to understand your content. Good meta tags help search engines index your site correctly and display your pages accurately to matching users.

For the best results on Google search pages, keep your meta titles under 60 characters and your meta descriptions under 160 characters. Google measures this by pixel width (600px for titles and 960px for descriptions). Our free meta tag generator tool includes built-in live counters to stop you from writing too much text.

Google often rewrites meta descriptions if it thinks your custom text doesn't fully answer what the user searched for. When this happens, Google automatically picks a relevant sentence directly from your page body. To avoid this, write helpful, human descriptions that include your main keyword and match real search queries.

Standard SEO meta tags are made for traditional search networks like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Open Graph (OG) meta tags are built for social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and WhatsApp. OG tags control how your links look when shared in messages, making sure your custom image, title, and site description show up perfectly.

Robots tags give direct rules to search engine bots. For example, using an index or noindex tag tells Google exactly which landing pages to save in its public database and which private dashboard pages to ignore. This protects your crawl budget and stops duplicate or thin pages from hurting your search rankings.

No, major modern search platforms like Google completely stop reading the meta keywords tag because people used to abuse it with keyword stuffing. However, we keep it as an optional choice in our builder tool because a few small regional web directories, old database scripts, and internal local search plugins still look for them to filter content.
