Why Meta Tags Matter
Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content. They don't appear on the page itself but only in the page's source code. They are essential for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) because they tell Google what your page is about.
Furthermore, in the age of social media, Social Meta Tags (Open Graph and Twitter Cards) are crucial. They ensure that when someone shares your link on WhatsApp, Facebook, or Twitter, it displays a beautiful preview image, title, and description instead of a plain, boring link.

How to Generate Perfect Tags
Optimizing your site for visibility is easy. Follow these steps:
Enter Details
Fill in your Site Title, Description, and the URL of your website and featured image.

Copy & Paste
Click "Copy Code" and paste the HTML into the <head> section of your site.
SEO Best Practices Checklist
Pro Tip: Google creates the blue clickable link from your <title> tag. Keep it under 60 characters to ensure it doesn't get truncated with an ellipsis (...).
Optimizing Meta Description
The meta description acts as "organic ad text". It doesn't directly affect ranking, but a compelling description increases CTR (Click-Through Rate).
- Length:
Keep it between 150-160 characters. Anything longer gets cut off on desktop search results.
- Keywords:
Include your focus keyword naturally. If the user searches for it, Google will bold it in the description.
Image Dimensions for Social
For the best results on Facebook and Twitter (Large Card), use an image with dimensions 1200 x 630 pixels. This ensures your link preview looks crisp and professional on high-resolution screens.
