About 120–160 characters works well for most Google snippets.

How to use the Meta Tag Generator

  1. Enter the page title and meta description.
  2. Add the canonical URL, robots settings, and any optional head tags you need.
  3. Copy the generated HTML into the head section of your page.

How it works

The tool builds plain HTML tags from the values you enter and keeps them in a standard order. Title and description are shown as separate fields because they affect search snippets, while canonical and robots tags control how crawlers treat the page.

  • <title> gives the page title used in the browser tab and often in search results.
  • <meta name="description"> provides a short summary for search engines.
  • <link rel="canonical"> points to the preferred URL for the page.
  • <meta name="robots"> sets rules such as index, noindex, follow, and nofollow.

This tool runs in your browser, so the text you type never leaves the page.

Examples

  • A product page can use a title, description, canonical URL, and index,follow robots tag.
  • A filtered category page can keep the title and description, but set noindex,follow if you do not want it in search results.
  • A mobile-friendly page can add a viewport tag such as width=device-width, initial-scale=1.

Limitations

  • The tool generates tags, but it cannot check whether your CMS outputs duplicate titles or canonicals elsewhere on the page.
  • A correct meta description does not guarantee Google will show it. Google often rewrites snippets.
  • If your page has more than one canonical or robots tag after deployment, search engines may ignore them or pick one on their own.

Frequently asked questions

Which meta tags matter most for SEO?

The title tag, meta description, canonical tag, and robots tag matter most here. Viewport and charset do not change rankings directly, but they still belong in the head.

Should every page have a canonical tag?

Most pages should. A self-referencing canonical helps search engines understand which URL you want indexed.

Does the meta description affect rankings?

Not as a direct ranking factor, but it can affect click-through rate because it often appears in the search snippet.
