About SEO Meta Generator

Generate SEO meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter Card tags for web pages. Part of the DevTools Surf developer suite. Browse more tools in the Web / Frontend collection.

Use Cases

• Generate complete Open Graph, Twitter Card, and canonical tags for a new web page.
• Audit existing pages for missing or malformed meta tags before a content audit.
• Create consistent social sharing metadata across a content marketing campaign.
• Generate structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippet eligibility alongside standard meta tags.

Tips

• Write Open Graph tags for every page that might be shared on social media — without them, platforms infer title and image from page content with inconsistent results.
• The meta description does not directly affect Google ranking but significantly affects click-through rate — treat it as ad copy for the SERP.
• Include canonical tags on paginated, filtered, or duplicate-content pages to prevent indexing of non-canonical versions.

Fun Facts

• The Open Graph Protocol was created by Facebook in 2010 and has been adopted by Twitter, LinkedIn, Slack, and virtually every major platform for rich link previews.
• The keywords meta tag was abused so heavily in the 1990s by keyword stuffers that Google announced in 2009 it does not use it as a ranking signal — it is retained for legacy reasons only.
• Twitter Card meta tags, introduced in 2012, allow publishers to control how content appears in Twitter/X link previews. Summary_large_image is the most commonly implemented card type.

FAQ

How long should a meta description be?

Target 150–160 characters. Google truncates descriptions at approximately 920px, which is about 155 characters. Shorter descriptions (under 120) may get auto-generated replacements that do not match your intent.

Do social media meta tags affect SEO?

Open Graph and Twitter Card tags do not directly influence Google rankings. They affect click-through rate on social platforms, which drives traffic — and traffic signals indirectly influence Google's perception of page quality.
