What Is Meta Tag Generator?

The Meta Tag Generator creates a complete set of HTML meta tags for your web pages, covering all essential SEO elements in one form. It generates the charset declaration, viewport tag, title tag, meta description, keywords, author, robots directive, and canonical URL. Beyond basic SEO tags, it also produces Open Graph tags for Facebook/LinkedIn sharing and Twitter Card tags for Twitter previews. Each generated tag follows current best practices and HTML5 standards. The tool auto-fills OG and Twitter tags from your base title and description when dedicated social fields are left empty, saving you time while ensuring every sharing channel has optimized metadata.

Technical Guide

Meta tags reside in the <head> section of your HTML document and provide metadata about the page to search engines and social platforms. The most critical tags for SEO are: title (displayed in search results and browser tabs), meta description (influences click-through rate from SERPs), and canonical (prevents duplicate content issues). The robots meta tag controls crawler behavior — "index, follow" is the default, while "noindex" prevents the page from appearing in search results. Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url) control how your page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Twitter uses its own twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image tags, falling back to OG tags when Twitter-specific tags are absent. Always include og:image (recommended 1200x630px) for visually rich social sharing.

Tips & Best Practices

1
Always set a unique title and description — duplicate metadata across pages hurts SEO
2
Include an og:image for every page — social shares with images get significantly more engagement
3
Use "noindex, follow" for pages you want crawled but not indexed (thin content, thank you pages)
4
Set canonical URLs to the preferred version of each page to consolidate ranking signals
5
Keep meta descriptions actionable — include a verb and value proposition

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Are meta keywords still important for SEO?

No. Google has officially stated it does not use the meta keywords tag as a ranking signal. However, some other search engines may still consider them. They're optional.

Q What is a canonical tag?

A canonical tag (rel="canonical") tells search engines which version of a page is the "original" when duplicate or similar content exists at multiple URLs. It consolidates ranking signals to the preferred URL.

Q Do I need both Open Graph and Twitter Card tags?

Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags when Twitter-specific tags are missing. However, having both gives you more control over how your content appears on each platform.

Q What robots directive should I use?

Use "index, follow" (default) for pages you want in search results. Use "noindex, follow" for pages like thank-you pages that shouldn't rank but contain links to crawl.

Q Where do meta tags go in HTML?

All meta tags should be placed inside the <head> section of your HTML document, before the closing </head> tag.
