What this tool does

This tool builds the core meta tags for a web page from a simple form: title, description, keywords, robots, character set, language, and author. Fill in the fields, press Generate, and you get clean HTML to copy straight into your page. It is the quick way to hand-write the tags that tell search engines what a page is and how to treat it.

How to use it

Title and description are required; the rest are optional. Type your Site Title (aim for around 60 characters) and Site Description (around 150), add comma-separated keywords if you want them, then set the robots, character set, language, and author options. Press Generate, check the output, and Copy to Clipboard. Paste the block into the <head> section of your page's HTML, which is where meta tags live.

How it works

The tool takes each field and wraps it in the matching meta tag, then stacks them into one block. Your title and description become their own tags, the two robots dropdowns combine into a single robots tag such as index, follow, the character set becomes a content-type tag, and language and author each get a tag. Nothing is sent anywhere; the HTML is assembled in your browser.

Which meta tags actually matter

Here is the part most generators skip: these tags do not all carry the same weight, and one of them does nothing at all for modern search.

The two that matter most. The title is the single most important on-page element. It is what search engines weigh for relevance and what shows as the clickable headline. Keep it near 60 characters so it is not cut off, lead with your main words, use one keyword rather than repeating it, and prefer hyphens over pipe symbols, because Google may rewrite a title it finds too long, stuffed, or boilerplate. A technical note worth knowing: the title search engines actually display comes from the page's <title> element, so make sure that is set too, which most content systems handle for you. The meta title here is a complement to it.

The description does not affect ranking directly, a point Google has made since 2009, but it is your pitch in the results, and a compelling one earns clicks, which helps over time. Aim for about 150 characters so it survives on mobile, and write it for a person. Be aware that Google rewrites or replaces the description for most results, pulling text from your page instead, so treat it as a strong suggestion rather than a guarantee.

Genuinely useful. The robots tag actually controls behaviour: index or noindex decides whether the page can appear in search results, and follow or nofollow decides whether engines follow the links on it. Use noindex for pages you want kept out of search, like a checkout or thank-you page. The character set is a technical necessity, and UTF-8 is the right answer for almost every site, since it covers virtually all characters and emoji.

The one that does nothing. The keywords tag is, for search purposes, dead. Google confirmed back in 2009 that it does not use it for ranking, and Bing may even read it as a spam signal. It is harmless to include, and a handful of internal site searches still read it, but do not expect it to help you rank; your effort belongs on the title and description instead.

The minor ones. Language and author are low-impact and fine to include, though the more standard way to declare language is the lang attribute on your <html> tag. To check your lengths before publishing, the meta title and meta description length checkers show exactly where they will be cut off, and for social sharing the Open Graph generator builds the tags that control how your link looks on Facebook and beyond.

Questions people ask

Do meta keywords help SEO?

No. Google has not used the keywords meta tag for ranking since 2009, and Bing may treat it as a spam signal. It does no harm, but it does no good for search either, so put your effort into the title and description.

How long should my title and description be?

Keep the title to roughly 50 to 60 characters and the description to about 150 to 160, leaning toward 150 so it is not trimmed on mobile. Put your most important words first in both, since the ends are what get cut.

Why did Google change my title or description in search results?

Google rewrites titles it judges too long, keyword-stuffed, or boilerplate, and it generates its own snippet for most results by pulling text from your page. Writing accurate, concise, unique tags improves the odds it uses yours.

Where do I put the generated tags?

In the <head> section of your page's HTML, alongside any tags your site already has. They belong in the page code, not in the visible content.

Does this give me every tag I need?

It covers the core set. For a complete page you will also want a canonical tag and a viewport tag, plus Open Graph tags for social sharing, which the Open Graph generator handles.
