Meta Tag Generator

0 / 60
0 / 155

Enter a page title and meta description to generate your meta tags.

Paste your page title, meta description, canonical URL, and robots preference, then copy a tidy block of HTML meta tags ready for the head of your page. The tool warns you when your title or description runs longer than search engines usually show, so you can trim before you publish.

How to use

  1. Enter your page title and meta description. The counters show how close you are to the recommended lengths.
  2. Add a canonical URL if the page has one. Leave it blank to skip the canonical tag.
  3. Choose whether search engines should index the page and follow its links.
  4. Read any length warnings and trim your title or description if needed.
  5. Click Copy tags and paste the block into the head of your HTML.

Examples

  • Title "Best Running Shoes for Beginners" (32 characters) and a 101 character description produce a four line block with no warnings.
  • A 70 character title triggers a warning that it may be truncated in search results, since the recommended limit is about 60 characters.
  • Setting indexing to noindex and link following to nofollow outputs a meta robots tag with content "noindex, nofollow".

FAQs

What is the ideal length for a title and meta description?
Keep titles to about 60 characters and meta descriptions to about 155 characters. Longer text often gets cut off in search results. This tool flags anything over those limits.
Do I need a canonical URL?
Only if you want to tell search engines the preferred address for a page that can be reached through more than one URL. It is optional here. Leave it blank and the canonical tag is left out.
What does the robots directive control?
It tells search engines whether they may index the page and whether they may follow the links on it. Use index, follow for normal pages and noindex for pages you want kept out of search results.
Are special characters in my text safe?
Yes. Characters like ampersands, quotes, and angle brackets are escaped automatically so they cannot break the HTML or the surrounding attributes.
Where do I put these tags?
Paste the block inside the head element of your page, alongside your charset and viewport tags. The title and meta tags belong in the head, not the body.
