Meta tag generator for Blogger and WordPress

How to use the meta tag generator

1. Type your page title and watch the character counter. The Google preview updates as you type, so you can see the moment it starts to truncate.
2. Write your description as ad copy, not as a summary. It has no direct effect on ranking, but it decides whether someone clicks your result instead of the one above it.
3. Add the page URL and a share image. Without an image, links to your page appear in WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Facebook as plain grey boxes.
4. Copy the generated block and paste it inside the head tag. On Blogger that is Theme, Edit HTML; on WordPress your SEO plugin has fields for these, or you can add them in header.php.

What you can use it for

Blogger users need this most, because Blogger gives you very little control by default. The built-in search description field is short and there is no Open Graph support at all unless you edit the theme, so pages shared to WhatsApp show no image and no description. Pasting a proper meta block into the theme fixes it.

Landing pages built by hand have no CMS to generate tags for them. Anything you put together as a single HTML file — a campaign page, a lead magnet, a portfolio site — needs its meta tags written out, and forgetting them means the page shares badly everywhere.

Rewriting titles for existing pages is the highest-leverage SEO work most sites can do. Pull up a page that ranks on page two, put its current title in here, and rewrite it so the keyword sits at the front and the promise is clearer. Click-through rate improvements from that are often visible within weeks.

Checking how a link will look before you share it saves embarrassment. The card preview here shows the title truncation and the image proportions, which is enough to catch a title that gets cut mid-word or an image where the important part is outside the crop.

Things to know about meta tags

The meta description is not a ranking factor and has not been for many years. It is a click-through factor, which is arguably more valuable — the same position with a better description earns more traffic. Google also rewrites descriptions roughly half the time when it thinks a passage from your page matches the query better, and there is nothing you can do about that.

Title length is measured in pixels, not characters, so a title full of wide capital letters truncates sooner than one in lowercase. Around 60 characters is the safe guide. Put the important words first — a truncated tail matters far less than a keyword pushed past the cut.

The meta keywords tag is dead. Google announced it ignores the tag in 2009 and every other major engine followed. Including it does no harm beyond wasting bytes, but it does nothing at all for you, which is why it is not generated here.

Open Graph images are cached aggressively by every platform. Once Facebook or WhatsApp has fetched your share image, changing the file does not change what people see for days. Facebook's Sharing Debugger has a "Scrape Again" button that forces a refresh, and it is the only reliable way to fix a wrong image after the fact.
