What are meta tags?
Meta tags are snippets of HTML in a page's <head> that describe the page to search engines
and social networks. They do not appear on the page itself but control how it is summarised elsewhere. This
generator builds a complete set: SEO title and description, Open Graph tags for social sharing, and Twitter
Card tags, with a live preview of each.
Title and description: your search listing
The title tag and meta description are what appear in Google's results, so they directly affect how many people click. Keep the title around 50 to 60 characters and the description around 150 to 160 characters so neither is truncated. Write them like an ad: make the title compelling and the description a clear promise of what the page delivers. The SERP preview shows exactly how they will look.
Open Graph and Twitter Cards
When someone shares your link on social media, the platform reads Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) to build the preview card with a headline, summary, and image. Twitter Cards do the same on X. Without them, shared links look bare and get fewer clicks. A good og:image is especially important, since the picture is what stops the scroll.
What about meta keywords?
The old meta keywords tag is obsolete. Google has ignored it for well over a decade because it was
so heavily abused, so stuffing keywords there does nothing for ranking. Focus your effort on a strong title,
description, and genuinely useful page content instead. This generator produces clean, standards-based tags you
can copy straight into your page head.
