Use Cases
Optimise meta tags for a blog post
Paste in your article title and a summary of the post. Use the title grader to check for a power word and ideal length, then preview how the result looks in Google before you hit publish. If you need inspiration for your article title, the headline generator produces click-worthy options you can plug straight into the title field. Once your meta tags are ready, add a sitemap and a robots.txt to round out your on-page SEO setup.
Generate meta tags for an e-commerce product page
Product pages compete heavily in search results. Set the page type to "product", include a strong call to action in the description, and add a high-quality product image as your OG image to boost click-through rates from both search and social.
Set noindex on staging or thank-you pages
Use the index dropdown to switch to "noindex" for pages you never want in Google's index — such as order confirmation pages, login pages, or development environments. Copy the generated robots meta tag directly into your CMS.
Prepare social sharing meta tags for a press release
When a press release gets shared on LinkedIn or Facebook, the OG image and title you set here are what people see. Use the generator to craft a compelling headline and choose a widescreen image to maximise impressions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Keep your meta title between 50 and 60 characters. Titles shorter than 50 characters may not use available SERP space well, while titles longer than 60 are often truncated by Google — cutting off important keywords and calls to action.
Meta descriptions should be between 120 and 160 characters. Google typically truncates descriptions longer than 160 characters, which can cut off your call to action and reduce click-through rates from search results.
Open Graph (OG) tags control how your page appears when shared on social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. Without them, platforms guess which image and text to show — often with poor results. Adding OG tags significantly improves link preview quality and share rates.
Adding 'noindex' instructs search engines not to include that page in their index. Use it for thank-you pages, duplicate content, staging pages, or pages intended only for logged-in users. Note that noindex only prevents indexing — it does not block crawling.
Power words are emotionally charged or action-oriented words that increase click-through rates. Examples: 'Free', 'Best', 'Ultimate', 'Guide', 'Proven', 'Fast', 'Secret', 'New', 'Top'. Including one in your title can improve CTR by 10–20% according to multiple A/B tests.
Google does not use the meta description as a direct ranking factor. However, a compelling description improves click-through rate, which can indirectly signal quality. Google may also rewrite your description if it finds a snippet that better matches the search query.
A canonical tag tells search engines which version of a URL is the preferred one when the same content is accessible via multiple URLs — for example, with and without trailing slashes, or with UTM parameters appended. It consolidates link equity and prevents duplicate content issues.
No. Duplicate meta descriptions reduce the uniqueness signals Google uses to differentiate your content. Write a unique description for every page that summarises what makes that specific page valuable to the searcher.
