How the Meta Tag Generator works

Fill in the page title and description, and optionally the canonical URL and robots settings. The tags update as you type — copy them into your page's <head>. Text is escaped, so quotes and & can't break the HTML.

The counters show the length in characters. Search engines cut titles at about 60 characters and descriptions at about 160 (they actually measure pixel width, so treat these as guides). A robots tag is added only when you change the default of “index, follow”, because that default needs no tag.

Examples

Typical output

<title>Loan Calculator — Monthly Payments</title>
<meta name="description" content="…">
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/loan/">

Keeping a page out of search

Untick index to get <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a meta keywords tag?

No. Google has ignored it since 2009, and other major search engines don't use it for ranking either, so this tool doesn't create one.

What is a canonical URL for?

It tells search engines which address is the main one when the same page is reachable at several (with and without www, tracking parameters, and so on), so ranking signals aren't split.

Will Google always show my description?

Not always — it may pick text from the page that better matches the search. A clear, specific description is still used most of the time.
