What this meta tag generator does

Every page needs a title tag, a meta description, and Open Graph tags to control how it appears in search results and social shares. Writing these by hand for every book page or blog post gets repetitive fast — this tool builds the full block from three fields so you can paste it straight into your site's head section.

How to use it

Enter your page title, a short description, and optional keywords and a URL. The tag block updates live below the form. Copy it and paste it into your CMS's SEO fields or directly into the <head> of your page.

A few tips

Write a unique title and description for every page — duplicate meta tags across a site can hurt how search engines rank each one. Keep titles under about 60 characters so they don't get cut off in search results, and write the description like ad copy: it's often the deciding factor between a click and a scroll past.

Frequently asked questions

What are Open Graph tags for?

Open Graph tags control how a page looks when it's shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms — the title, description, and image that show up in the preview card.

How long should a meta description be?

Aim for roughly 150-160 characters. Google will truncate longer descriptions in search results, so keep the important part near the start.

Do I still need keyword meta tags in 2026?

Major search engines no longer use the keywords meta tag for ranking, but this tool still generates one since some site platforms and internal search tools reference it.
