Meta tags tell search engines and social media platforms about your page's content, title, description, and preview image. Properly configured meta tags improve search engine rankings (SEO), control how your page appears in Google results, and create rich previews when shared on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. This tool generates all essential meta tags with a live preview.
Fill in your page title, description, canonical URL, and optional image URL. The tool generates a complete set of HTML meta tags including standard SEO tags, Open Graph tags for Facebook and LinkedIn, and Twitter Card tags. A live preview shows how your page will appear in Google search results and social media shares. Copy the generated HTML code and paste it into your page's <head> section.
Meta tag generation is essential for SEO optimization of every web page — controlling how search engines understand and display your content. It ensures consistent social media previews when pages are shared on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slack. Developers use it when launching new pages or sites, migrating content between platforms, auditing SEO compliance, and creating meta tag templates for content management systems.
The generator produces standards-compliant meta tags following Google's SEO guidelines, the Open Graph protocol (ogp.me), and Twitter Card specifications. Title tags are limited to 60 characters for optimal Google display, and descriptions to 160 characters. The canonical URL tag prevents duplicate content issues. Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type) control social media previews. Twitter Card tags support both 'summary' and 'summary_large_image' layouts.
Meta tags are HTML elements placed in the <head> section that provide metadata about the page. They are not visible to users but are read by search engines and social media platforms to understand your page's content, title, and description.
Open Graph (OG) is a protocol created by Facebook that controls how your page appears when shared on social media. Key OG tags include og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url. These tags create rich preview cards on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms.
Twitter Cards are Twitter's equivalent of Open Graph tags. Key tags include twitter:card (summary or summary_large_image), twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image.
Google typically displays 150-160 characters of a meta description in search results. Write concise, compelling descriptions under 160 characters that include your target keywords and a clear call to action.
