How to generate meta tags

  1. 1

    Fill in title and description

    These drive what shows in the Google search snippet — keep an eye on the live counters.

  2. 2

    Add the canonical URL

    Point it at the one version of the page you want indexed.

  3. 3

    Set indexing and language options

    Leave index/follow on for pages you want ranked; switch a field off only for pages you deliberately want excluded.

  4. 4

    Copy the tags into your page

    Paste the generated block into the &lt;head&gt; of the page it describes.

Example use cases

1

Launching a new page

Put together every core meta tag at once instead of writing each by hand.

2

Standardizing across a site

Use the same field structure for every page so nothing gets missed.

3

Fixing a page with missing tags

Quickly rebuild the &lt;head&gt; block for a page that was published without one.

Frequently asked questions

Do meta keywords still matter?

No. Google has ignored the meta keywords tag for ranking purposes for years, though a few smaller search engines or internal site-search tools may still read it. It's included here for completeness — it won't hurt to add it, but don't expect it to affect Google rankings.

What does robots noindex/nofollow do?

"Noindex" tells search engines not to list the page in results; "nofollow" tells them not to pass ranking credit through the links on that page. Most pages should stay on the default index/follow.

Do I need a canonical tag on every page?

It's good practice, especially if the same content is reachable at more than one URL (with/without trailing slash, tracking parameters, etc.) — the canonical tag tells search engines which version to treat as the "real" one.

Is this different from the Open Graph Generator?

Yes — this tool covers the core <head> tags search engines read (title, description, robots, canonical). The Open Graph Generator covers the separate set of tags that control how a link looks when shared on social platforms.
