Meta Tag Generator
Create an optimised title tag, meta description and canonical URL for any page — with a live Google preview so you can see exactly what searchers will see.
Page details
What are meta tags, and why do they matter?
Your title tag and meta description are the headline and summary searchers see in Google before they've even visited your site. They don't just describe your page — a clear, relevant version of both can directly influence whether someone chooses to click.
The canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the "master" version of a page, which matters if the same content is reachable through more than one address (for example, with or without a trailing slash).
How to use the meta tag generator
- 1.Enter your page or business name and the main keyword you want this page found for.
- 2.Write a short, honest description of what's on the page — the character meter will tell you if it's too long.
- 3.Add your page's URL to generate the canonical tag correctly.
- 4.Copy the generated HTML and paste it into the <head> section of your page.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Same title on every page. Each page should have its own, specific title — not your business name repeated everywhere.
- ✕Description that doesn't match the content. Misleading descriptions increase bounce rate and erode trust.
- ✕Keyword stuffing. Repeating your keyword unnaturally reads badly and doesn't help rankings.
- ✕Leaving the description blank. Google will write its own — usually an awkward sentence pulled from the page.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I paste this code?
Inside the <head> section of your page's HTML, ideally near the top. If you're using a CMS like WordPress, there's usually a dedicated SEO/meta fields section instead.
Do meta tags directly improve my Google ranking?
The description doesn't directly affect ranking — but a clear, relevant one can improve your click-through rate, which is worth optimising regardless. The title tag carries more direct SEO weight.
What if my title looks cut off in the preview?
Google truncates by pixel width, not character count. Use our SERP Preview tool for pixel-accurate measurement of longer titles.
