PageYak

Meta tag generator

Write your page title, description and social tags, see how they will look in search and when shared, then copy the code. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Put the main words first. Google usually shows about 60 characters.

Aim for 70 to 160 characters that make people want to click.

    What each tag does

    TitleThe clickable headline in search results and the browser tab.
    Meta descriptionThe short summary under the headline. Google may rewrite it, so make it specific.
    RobotsAdded only when you hide the page or its links from search engines.
    CanonicalTells search engines which URL is the main one when copies exist.
    Open Graph tagsControl the title, description and image shown when the page is shared on Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and others.
    Twitter cardAsks X (Twitter) for a large image card. X reads the Open Graph tags for the rest.

    A good share image

    Use a picture 1200 by 630 pixels, in JPG or PNG, under 5 MB, at a full https:// address. Keep text large and away from the edges, because some apps crop the sides.

    Privacy: how this tool handles your text

    When you use Meta tag generator, your browser reads your text on your device and the tool's code does the work in this tab. PageYak's server only sends the page and its code. It never receives your text, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.

    How PageYak works explains this in more detail.

    Why meta tags matter

    The title tag and meta description are usually what Google shows in search results, and Open Graph and Twitter tags decide the title, text and image shown when someone shares your link on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or X.

    Good tags do not lift rankings on their own, but a clear title and description get more clicks from the same position.

    • Keep the title under about 60 characters and put the main words first.
    • Write a description of about 150 characters that says what the page offers.
    • Use a 1200 by 630 pixel share image for og:image.

    Questions

    Do meta keywords still matter?

    No. Google ignores the meta keywords tag, so this tool leaves it out.

    How long should a title be?

    There is no fixed limit, but longer titles get cut off. Keep the important words in the first 50 to 60 characters.

    Why does Facebook still show my old image?

    Social sites keep a copy of what they saw last time. After you change the tags, ask them to look again with their sharing debugger tools.

    Where do I put the meta tags?

    Inside the head section of each page. On WordPress, use your SEO plugin fields instead of pasting code.

    Does every page need its own title and description?

    Yes. Unique tags help search engines and people tell your pages apart.
