Meta Tag Generator
What are Meta Tags?
Meta tags are HTML elements in the <head> section of a web page that provide metadata about the page to search engines and social media platforms. The most important are: the <title> tag (the page title shown in browser tabs and search results), the meta description (the snippet shown below the title in Google), and Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) which control how the page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Twitter Card meta tags (twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image) control appearance on X/Twitter. Proper meta tags significantly improve click-through rates from search results and social shares.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a meta description be? Google typically displays 155–160 characters in search results before truncating. Aim for 140–160 characters to ensure your description is shown in full. Include your main keyword and a clear value proposition or call to action.
What size should my Open Graph image be? The recommended size is 1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 aspect ratio) for most platforms. Facebook and LinkedIn crop images that don't match this ratio. For Twitter (large card), 1200×628 works well. Use a JPG or PNG under 8MB.
Does adding meta tags directly improve Google rankings? The meta description itself is not a direct ranking factor, but it affects click-through rate — a compelling description gets more clicks, which is a signal Google uses. The page title is a minor ranking factor. The most impactful SEO is on-page content and backlinks.
