Use the SEO plugin’s title and description fields on the page editor, or a header-scripts plugin such as WPCode for the full block.
Write your SEO title and meta description, then copy clean HTML for your page <head>, including canonical, robots, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. Free, no sign-up, and nothing leaves your browser.
Meta tags are snippets of HTML in a page’s <head> that describe the page to search engines and social platforms. The title tag and meta description shape how the page looks in search results, while Open Graph and Twitter tags control the card shown when it is shared.
Visitors never see meta tags on the page itself, but they see the results. A clear title and description can lift your click-through rate, and a good share image makes links look trustworthy on LinkedIn, Facebook and X.
Google rewrites titles and descriptions when it thinks another snippet fits a search better, so treat your tags as a strong suggestion, not a guarantee.
<title>Free SEO Tools | Acme Digital</title> <meta name="description" content="Free tools to audit, plan and grow your search traffic." /> <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/tools/" /> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" /> <meta property="og:type" content="website" /> <meta property="og:title" content="Free SEO Tools | Acme Digital" /> <meta property="og:image" content="https://www.example.com/og.jpg" /> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
Every indexable page needs a unique title and description. The rest depend on how the page is shared and whether duplicates exist.
| Tag | What it does | Guideline | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
title | The clickable headline in search results and browser tabs | About 50 to 60 characters | Always include |
description | The summary shown under the title in search results | About 120 to 160 characters | Always include |
canonical | Tells search engines which URL is the main version | One absolute URL | Always include |
robots | Controls indexing and link following | Default is index, follow | When you need control |
og:title, og:description, og:image | The card shown on Facebook, LinkedIn and most chat apps | Image 1200 × 630 px | Strongly recommended |
twitter:card | Sets the card style on X | summary_large_image | Recommended |
theme-color, author | Browser UI colour and attribution | Hex colour, plain name | If it applies |
The generator writes the code. These four steps take you from a blank form to live tags.
Add a unique title and description for the page.
Enter the page URL, canonical and a share image.
Copy the tags, or download them as an HTML file.
Add them to the page head, then check the previews.
Use this on one page at a time. Most SEO plugins already output a title and description, so edit the plugin’s fields instead of adding a second set, because duplicate tags can confuse crawlers.
Most platforms have a field for each page’s tags. Use the code box only when they do not.
Use the SEO plugin’s title and description fields on the page editor, or a header-scripts plugin such as WPCode for the full block.
Edit the page’s search engine listing, or paste the tags into theme.liquid before the closing head tag.
Open the page’s SEO settings for the title and description. Add the rest through Settings, then Custom Code.
Place the tags between the opening and closing <head> tags of the page.
Short answers on length, placement and what meta tags can do.
A meta tag generator turns your page title, description, URL and share image into ready-to-paste HTML tags. It saves you from hand-writing syntax and shows how the page will look in Google and on social platforms.
Aim for about 50 to 60 characters. Google truncates titles by pixel width, so wide letters take more space. Put the main keyword near the start.
Aim for about 120 to 160 characters. Longer descriptions are often cut off on mobile. Write a specific summary that matches what the page delivers.
Google says the meta description is not a ranking factor. It can still raise clicks, because it is often the text shown under your title in results.
A canonical tag names the preferred URL for a page. It helps search engines consolidate duplicates, such as versions with tracking parameters, into one main URL.
Open Graph tags set the title, description and image shown when a page is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn and many messaging apps. Without them, platforms guess from the page and often pick poorly.
X falls back to Open Graph tags when Twitter tags are missing. Adding twitter:card still lets you pick the large-image card, so it is worth including.
Use noindex for pages you do not want in search results, such as thank-you pages, internal search results or staging copies. Do not use it on pages you want to rank.

Meta tags describe the page. Structured data describes what is on it.
