Meta tags generator.
Fill in the page title, description, canonical address, and share image to get a ready set of head tags. The tool writes the title, description, canonical, robots, Open Graph, and Twitter card tags, and warns about long titles, missing descriptions, and invalid addresses.
Paste the tags inside the head of the page. Robots directives are written only when you change them from the default of index and follow. Search engines treat the canonical address as a hint, not a command.
This tool runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere or stored.
How to use it
- Enter the title and description Write them for this page only. The checks flag text that search results are likely to cut.
- Add the canonical address Use the full preferred URL of the page, starting with https.
- Set sharing details Add a site name, a type, and a share image address to fill in the Open Graph and Twitter tags.
- Copy the tags Paste them into the head of the page, or download the file and hand it to your developer.
Why it matters
The head of a page tells search engines and social networks what the page is. The title and description shape the result people see, the canonical address names the preferred version when several addresses load the same page, and the Open Graph tags decide how a link looks when someone shares it.
Google does not use the keywords meta tag, and the description does not directly affect ranking, so this tool leaves the keywords tag out. The description still matters because Google often shows it as the snippet. The canonical address is a hint, not a command, so keep your internal links and sitemap consistent with it.
Robots tags are written only when you change them from the default. Use noindex with care. A page marked noindex asks to stay out of search results, and a mistake here can remove an important page. Review the output before you publish it.

Questions
Do I still need a meta keywords tag?
No. Google ignores it, so the tool does not write one.
What is a canonical address?
It is the URL you want search engines to treat as the main version of a page. It helps when the same content loads at more than one address.
Are the Twitter card tags needed?
X falls back to Open Graph tags when Twitter tags are missing, so they are optional. Keeping them lets you set the card type explicitly.
Where do the tags go?
Inside the head element of the HTML page, before the body.
