Meta Tag Generator — Complete Guide
Meta tags are HTML snippets in a page's <head> section that tell search engines and social platforms what the page is about. The most important are the title tag and meta description, which appear directly in search results. Open Graph tags control how a page looks when shared on Facebook and LinkedIn. Twitter card tags control Twitter previews.
Getting these right affects your click-through rate from search results and how professional your content looks when shared. This tool generates the correct HTML for all these tags from the information you provide.

Frequently asked questions
Do meta keywords still matter for SEO?
No. Google stopped using meta keywords as a ranking signal in 2009. The title and meta description are what matter for search appearance. Open Graph and Twitter tags matter for social sharing.
What is a canonical tag?
A canonical tag (rel=canonical) tells search engines which version of a page is the original when the same content exists at multiple URLs. This is common for product pages with filter parameters or paginated content.
