What is a meta tag generator?A meta tag generator turns your page title, description and settings into the HTML meta tags that search engines and browsers read. ContentStudio's free meta tags generator builds the title, description, keyword, robots, charset and language tags for you, with length limits built in. No sign-up needed.
How to use it
How to Use the Meta Tag Generator
Enter your page URL
Use the full address, including https://.
Write your title
Keep it under 60 characters, with the main keyword near the start.
Write your meta description
Keep it under 160 characters. Summarize the page and give a reason to click.
Choose robots and focus keyword
Select Yes to let search engines index the page, then enter your focus keyword.
Set encoding and language
Leave Content Type on UTF-8 for almost every site, and pick your page's primary language.
Generate and paste
Click Generate meta tags, copy the code and paste it inside your page's head section.
Tip: don't know your focus keyword yet? Start with the Keyword planner tool, pick one main keyword, then come back.
What it generates
The meta tags this generator creates
- Title
<title>Handmade Leather Wallets | Oak & Hide</title>
- Meta description
<meta name="description" content="…">
- Meta keywords
<meta name="keywords" content="leather wallets">
- Robots
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
- Content type / charset
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
- Language
<meta name="language" content="English">
Pages also need a viewport tag for mobile (<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">). Most website builders and CMS themes add it for you.
Character limits
Meta Tag Character Limits
Character limits for meta tags determine what is shown and what is cut off in search results and link previews.
| Tag | Recommended length | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Title tag | 50–60 characters | Google shows about 600 pixels, so longer titles are cut off with an ellipsis |
| Meta description | 120–160 characters | Google shows about 155–160 characters on desktop and less on mobile |
| og:title | Up to about 60–90 characters | Facebook and LinkedIn cut longer titles in link previews |
| og:description | Up to about 200 characters | Previews often show only one or two lines |
Google often rewrites titles and descriptions to match the search, so the text you write isn't always the text shown. A clear, accurate description that matches the page is the best way to get yours used. Check lengths for any field with the Character counter.
How long should a meta description be?
Aim for 120 to 160 characters. That is long enough to explain the page and short enough to show in full on most desktop results. Put the most important words first, because mobile results show less.
Writing title and description
How to write a meta title and meta description
The generator builds the code, but the words are what earn the click. Use these rules for every meta title and meta description you write:
Meta title
- Put the main keyword near the start.
- Add a reason to click: free, 2026, a number or a benefit.
- End with your brand name if there is room.
- Write a unique title for every page.
Meta description
- Summarize what the page gives the reader in one or two sentences.
- Include the main keyword once, naturally. Google bolds words that match the search.
- Add a soft call to action: "Compare plans", "See the full list", "Try it free".
- Don't promise what the page doesn't deliver. Misleading snippets lose clicks and trust.

Open Graph and X cards
Open Graph and X (Twitter) Card tags for social sharing
When someone shares your URL on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Slack or WhatsApp, the preview card is built from Open Graph (og:) tags and X Card tags. Without them, each app guesses, and often picks the wrong image or text.
- og:title
<meta property="og:title" content="Handmade Leather Wallets">
- og:description
<meta property="og:description" content="Slim wallets, free US shipping.">
- og:image
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/share.jpg">
- og:url
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/wallets">
- twitter:card
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
Use a share image of 1200 × 630 pixels for a large preview. After you change the tags, refresh the cached preview with Facebook's Sharing Debugger and LinkedIn's Post Inspector. When you share pages in campaigns, add tracking with the UTM builder so you can see which posts drove the visits.
Instagram meta tags
Instagram Meta Tags
Instagram doesn't use your page's meta tags the way Google, Facebook and LinkedIn do. Links in Instagram feed captions aren't clickable and don't create previews, so meta tags have no effect there.
Where your Open Graph tags can matter on Instagram is when people share your link in Direct Messages, where Instagram may show a link preview, and on the page visitors land on from your bio link. Set og:title, og:description and og:image correctly and the same tags serve Facebook, Threads and other Meta apps too. Use Facebook's Sharing Debugger to preview and refresh how your Open Graph tags appear.
Type of meta tags
Type of Meta Tags
Meta tags contribute to SEO in several ways:
Title tag and CTR: the title tag is an important on-page signal and the most visible element in search results. A clear, keyword-bearing title helps both ranking and click-through rate.
Meta description and CTR: meta descriptions are not a direct ranking factor for Google. A well-written description can still lift click-through rate. It should match the page content: a misleading description that wins clicks but disappoints visitors does more harm than good.
Robots meta tag: the noindex directive tells Google not to include a page in its index. Used by mistake on important pages, it removes them from search results. Used well on duplicate, thin or parameter pages, it keeps your index clean.
Open Graph and social tags: Open Graph tags don't directly affect Google rankings. Pages with good social previews tend to get more clicks and shares, which can bring more visitors and links over time.
Meta keywords: Google has ignored the meta keywords tag for ranking since 2009. Keep it short and accurate, or leave it out.
From tagged page to shared post
Good meta tags make your links look right when they are shared. ContentStudio is an AI social media management platform that shares them for you. With it you can:
- Share links with full previews. Paste a URL in the composer and ContentStudio pulls in its title, description and image for each network. Publish it with ContentStudio's social media publishing tool.
- Write the post around the link. AI Studio, our AI social media content generator, writes the caption for your blog post or landing page.
- Reshare evergreen pages on a schedule. Put your best pages on a repeat schedule so new followers see them too.
