About the Meta Tag Generator
The Meta Tag Generator turns a few fields — page title, description, keywords, author, canonical URL and a robots directive — into clean HTML meta tags, ready to paste into the head of your page. It always offers a UTF-8 charset and a responsive viewport tag (both optional), adds a robots tag only when you pick something other than the default index, follow, and escapes special characters in your text so the markup stays valid. As you type it also flags a title longer than about 60 characters, or a description outside roughly 70 to 160 characters — the lengths search engines tend to display.
It is a quick way to hand-build correct tags for a landing page, a static site or a CMS template without memorising the syntax. Everything is generated in your browser.
Be realistic about what meta tags do. A good title and description can improve how your result looks in search and how many people click it, but they do not by themselves rank a page — content and links do far more. And the old keywords meta tag is ignored by Google entirely; it is included only for completeness. Next, add social share tags with the Open Graph generator, or control crawling with the robots.txt generator.
Frequently asked questions
Does the keywords meta tag help SEO?
No. Google has ignored the keywords meta tag for years because it was so easily abused. This tool can still generate it for completeness, but leaving it out costs you nothing.
Will these tags make my page rank higher?
Not on their own. A strong title and description can improve click-through from search results, but rankings are driven mainly by content quality and links. Meta tags support those, they do not replace them.
How long should my title and description be?
Roughly 60 characters for the title and about 70 to 160 for the description, which is what search engines usually display. The tool warns you when you go outside those ranges.
What is the canonical tag for?
It tells search engines which URL is the primary version of a page when similar or duplicate content exists at several addresses, helping consolidate them onto one preferred URL.
Does my input get sent anywhere?
No. The tags are built in your browser from what you type; nothing is uploaded or stored.
