- Fill in your page title and meta description: the live Google preview updates as you type so you can see exactly how your result will look in search.
- Add your canonical URL: this tells Google which version of the page is the main one, so ranking signals aren’t split across duplicate URLs.
- Set the Robots rule: leave it as “index, follow” for all public pages. Use “noindex” for thank-you pages, staging environments, or admin pages.
- Fill in the Open Graph fields: OG Title and OG Description auto-sync from your basic SEO fields but you can override them. Add an OG Image (1200×630 px) to control how your page looks when shared on Facebook and LinkedIn.
- Set an X (Twitter) Card type: “summary_large_image” shows a large image when the link is shared on X and suits most pages.
- Click “Copy All Tags” and paste the code inside the
<head>section of your page’s HTML, or into the “Header Scripts” field in your WordPress SEO plugin.
What Each Meta Tag Does
Title tag
The <title> tag is usually what Google shows as the clickable headline in search results. Put your primary keyword near the front and make it worth clicking. Google has no character limit but cuts titles to fit the screen, so around 50 to 60 characters usually shows in full.
Meta description
The meta description is often shown as the text under your title. It doesn’t affect rankings, but a clear summary can earn more clicks. Google sets no length limit and truncates to fit the screen; around 150 to 160 characters usually shows in full on desktop.
Canonical URL
The canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the “master” version of a page. This is important when the same content can be accessed via multiple URLs (e.g. with and without trailing slashes, with query strings, or via HTTP and HTTPS). Without it, Google may split ranking signals across duplicate URLs.
Open Graph tags
Open Graph (OG) tags control how your page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social platforms. Without OG tags, those platforms guess what to display, often pulling the wrong image or text. Setting a 1200×630 px OG image and a clear OG title ensures every share looks professional.
X (Twitter) Card tags
X Card tags control the preview shown when your URL is shared on X. The “summary_large_image” type shows a large image above the post text; “summary” shows a small thumbnail.
Where to Paste the Generated Tags in WordPress
- Yoast SEO: go to the page editor, scroll to the Yoast SEO box, and enter your title and description in the “Google preview” fields. For OG and Twitter tags, check the “Social” tab in Yoast settings.
- RankMath: open the RankMath panel in the page editor and fill in the General, Social, and Advanced tabs. RankMath generates the tags automatically from your inputs.
- Manual / custom themes: paste the full generated code block inside the
<head>section of your page template, or use a plugin like “Header and Footer Scripts” to inject it per page.
Frequently asked questions
What is a meta tag generator?
A meta tag generator creates the HTML code for all the meta tags a page needs, including the title tag, meta description, canonical URL, Open Graph tags, and Twitter Card tags, based on the information you enter, without requiring you to write the code manually.
Do meta tags affect SEO?
The title tag does: Google uses it to understand the page and usually shows it in results. The meta description doesn’t affect rankings but can improve click-through rate. Canonical tags help Google choose the right URL when duplicates exist. Open Graph and X Card tags don’t affect Google rankings, but they control how your links look when shared.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Google sets no limit and truncates snippets to fit the device. Around 150 to 160 characters usually shows in full on desktop, and less on mobile, so put the important part first. The bar in this tool turns orange at 80% and red when you pass the limit.
What size should my OG image be?
Use 1200×630 pixels, under 8MB. This landscape ratio displays well on Facebook, LinkedIn and X without cropping. Use JPEG for photos and PNG for graphics with text or logos.
Is the Meta Tag Generator free?
Yes, completely free with unlimited use and no account required.
