Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content; the meta tags don't appear on the page itself, but only in the page's code. They are "data about data".

The Meta Tag Generator helps you create valid, optimized tags without memorizing HTML syntax.

The Big Three

1. Title Tag

The most important tag for SEO. It appears as the clickable headline on Google. Ideally 50-60 characters.

2. Meta Description

The pitch. It appears below the headline. It doesn't directly affect ranking, but a good description improves Click-Through Rate (CTR). Limit is ~160 characters.

3. Viewport (Mobile)

Without this tag <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">, mobile phones will render your site as a tiny desktop site. This is catastrophic for SEO.

What About Keywords?

The meta keywords tag is dead. Google ignores it completely because spammers abused it in the late 90s. Our generator allows it for legacy search engines (like Yandex maybe), but warns you not to rely on it.

Robots Tag

This tells Google NOT to index a page.

  • index, follow: The default. Please index me.
  • noindex: Keep this private (e.g., admin pages).
  • nofollow: Don't trust the links on this page.
