Meta Tag Generator
Fill in a simple form and get copy-paste-ready meta tags: title, description, keywords, author, language, and robots directives.
What is the Meta Tag Generator?
Meta tags are snippets in a page's <head> that describe the page to browsers and search engines. This generator builds the standard set from form fields: the <title> tag, meta description, keywords, author, language, and the robots directive that controls indexing — with a dropdown covering the four index/follow combinations.
The form shows character counts for the title and description as you type, because those two tags have practical length limits: Google typically displays about 60 characters of a title and 155–160 of a description before truncating.
The output is a ready-to-paste HTML block, generated live in your browser.
Why are Meta Tags Important?
The title and description are your page's advertisement in search results — they're often the only thing a searcher sees before deciding whether to click. A page with a vague title and an auto-generated description loses clicks to competitors with deliberate ones, at identical rankings.
The robots directive is the operational one: 'noindex' keeps a page out of search results entirely, which is essential for staging pages, thank-you pages, and internal search results. Getting it wrong in either direction — indexing what shouldn't be, or noindexing what should — is a classic silent SEO disaster.
Every page on your site should have a unique title and description. Duplicated meta tags across pages make search engines pick for themselves what to display, and the picks are rarely flattering.
How to Use the Meta Tag Generator
1. Enter your page title and description, watching the character counters.
2. Optionally fill in keywords, author, and language.
3. Choose a robots setting — 'Index, Follow' for normal public pages.
4. Copy the generated tag block into your page's <head>.
Example
Input: Title 'My Store', description 'We sell handmade goods.'
Output:
<title>My Store</title> <meta name="description" content="We sell handmade goods."> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow">

Everything you need to know about the Meta Tag Generator.
Google truncates it with an ellipsis at roughly 155–160 characters (less on mobile). The page isn't penalized, but your message gets cut mid-sentence — write the important part first and keep within the counter.
