Meta Tag Generator
Generate SEO meta tags, Open Graph and Twitter Cards with live preview
Frequently Asked Questions
Meta tags are HTML snippets in your page's <head> that give search engines and social media platforms information about your page — like the title, description, and preview image.
Open Graph (OG) tags control how your page looks when shared on Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and other platforms. The key tags are og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url.
1200×630 pixels is the recommended size for most platforms. Facebook supports up to 8MB. Make sure the image clearly represents your page content as it'll be the first thing people see when your link is shared.
Google officially ignores the keywords meta tag. However, some other search engines like Bing may still consider it. Focus your effort on title and description — those actually affect your search rankings and click-through rates.

Meta Tag Generator — Create SEO and Open Graph Tags for Your Website
Meta tags are HTML elements in the <head> section of a web page that pass information about the page to search engines, social media platforms, and browsers — without that information appearing visibly on the page itself. Getting meta tags right is foundational SEO and social sharing work. This generator creates the correct HTML for all the essential tags and lets you paste it directly into your page's <head>.
Essential meta tags
Title tag (<title>): The most important on-page SEO element. Shown in search results as the blue clickable link. Shown in the browser tab. Should be 50–60 characters, include your primary keyword, and accurately describe the page. Every page should have a unique, specific title.
Meta description (<meta name="description">): The grey snippet text shown below the title in search results. While it's not a direct ranking factor, a well-written description improves click-through rate — which matters for traffic. Keep it 150–160 characters, make it specific and compelling, and match what the page actually delivers. Search engines may rewrite it if yours doesn't match the query well, but having a good one is still worthwhile.
Meta robots: Tells search engine crawlers how to handle the page. index, follow is the default (crawl and index this page, follow links from it). noindex prevents the page from appearing in search results — useful for thank-you pages, login pages, admin pages, and duplicate content pages.
Canonical URL (<link rel="canonical">): Specifies the preferred URL for a page when multiple URLs serve the same or similar content. Prevents duplicate content issues from URL parameters, trailing slashes, or HTTP vs HTTPS variations.
Open Graph tags (social sharing)
When you share a link on WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter, the platform shows a preview card with a title, image, and description. These come from Open Graph (og:) meta tags. Without them, the platform makes its best guess — which often looks poor. With proper OG tags, your shared links look professional and purposeful.
og:title: The title shown in the share preview — can differ from the page title.
og:description: The description in the share preview.
og:image: The preview thumbnail image. Recommended size: 1200×630px for most platforms. This single image has a huge impact on how often shared links get clicked.
og:url: The canonical URL for the shared page.
og:type: The content type — "website" for general pages, "article" for blog posts, "product" for e-commerce items.
Twitter Card tags
Twitter has its own set of meta tags for controlling how links appear in tweets. The twitter:card type determines the card layout — "summary" for a small thumbnail, "summary_large_image" for a full-width image preview. Other Twitter card tags mirror the OG equivalents but with the twitter: prefix. If you set OG tags, many Twitter Card fields will fall back to those values if the Twitter-specific ones are absent.
How to use it
Fill in the fields for your page: title, description, URL, image URL, content type, and any social-specific overrides. The generator produces the complete HTML snippet. Copy it and paste it into the <head> section of your page's HTML, before the closing </head> tag. Test social sharing previews using Facebook's Sharing Debugger or Twitter's Card Validator tools after publishing.
Tips for Indian websites
If your site targets Indian audiences, include location-relevant terms in your title and description — "in India", "for Indian users", or specific city/state terms if relevant. This helps with local search relevance. Include the language (if non-English) in the <html lang="hi"> attribute and the og:locale tag.
For WhatsApp sharing (extremely common in India for content discovery), Open Graph tags are what determine the link preview. A compelling OG image with clear text can significantly improve how much your content gets shared.
Limitations
Meta tags alone won't rank your site — they're one part of a broader SEO strategy that includes content quality, backlinks, page speed, and technical SEO. A well-written meta description improves CTR but isn't a direct ranking signal. Think of meta tags as packaging: they help the right people choose your content, but the content itself has to deliver on what the tags promise.
Social platforms cache OG tag data. If you update your OG image or description after a URL has been shared, the old preview may persist in the cache for hours or days. Use platform-specific debugger tools to force a cache refresh.
