Über Meta Tag Generator
A meta tag generator helps you write the head tags that describe a web page to search engines and to social sharing sites. The page title and description are the two lines people usually see first in search results, so they have a real effect on whether someone clicks. This tool lets you fill in each field, then copy the finished tags straight into your page. Live counters show how long each title and description is, with guides of about 60 characters for titles and about 155 for descriptions, so you can spot text that may be cut short. A rough preview shows how the listing could look once it appears in results.
Beyond search, the social sharing tags decide how a link looks when someone shares it in a messaging app or on a social network. The site name, image address and page type are the main fields to fill in for that. The canonical address tells search engines which web address is the main version of a page, which helps when the same content can be reached through more than one link. The robots settings let you choose whether a page should be listed in search and whether its links should be followed. Choose noindex only when you want a page hidden from search results, and leave the default index setting for pages you want people to find.

Häufige Fragen
How long should a page title be?
Aim for about 60 characters. Search engines show a limited amount of text, and longer titles are often cut short with an ellipsis. Put the most important words near the start so they stay visible even when the title is shortened. The counter on this page shows your current length as you type, so you can adjust the wording until it fits.
How long should a meta description be?
Aim for about 155 characters. This is roughly the amount of summary most search results show before the text is cut off. Search engines may also write their own description if they think another part of the page answers the search better, so treat the description as a guide rather than a guarantee. Write it as a friendly sentence that tells the reader what they will find on the page.
What does a canonical address do?
A canonical address names the main web address for a page. It helps search engines understand which version to list when the same content can be reached through more than one link, such as with or without a tracking code added to the end. Use the full address starting with https://, and make sure it leads to the page itself rather than to a different page.
When should I choose noindex?
Choose noindex when you do not want a page to appear in search results, such as a thank-you page after a form, a log in page or a draft that is not ready for visitors. Search engines drop a noindex page from their results once they next visit it. Pages you do want people to find should keep the index setting, which is the default choice in this tool.
Do I need the social sharing tags?
They are not required, but they help your links look better when shared. Without them, a messaging app or social network may guess a title, description or picture that does not suit the page. Adding a site name, an image address and a page type gives people a clearer preview before they click. Each platform reads these tags in its own way, so check the result on the platform you use most.
