The meta tags every page needs

Meta tags live in the head of your HTML and tell browsers and search engines how to handle your page. The essentials are a title, a meta description, the charset, and a viewport tag for mobile. From there, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags control how your links look when shared on social media - the difference between a bare URL and a rich preview with a title, description, and image.

Getting these right once, and consistently, prevents a surprising number of small SEO and social problems: truncated titles, missing share images, and pages accidentally left out of the index.

Meta tags vs. meta keywords

People often confuse meta tags with the old meta keywords tag. They are not the same thing. "Meta tags" is the umbrella term for all the tags in your <head> - title, description, viewport, robots, Open Graph, and Twitter Card. The meta keywords tag specifically was a place to stuff target keywords, and it was abused so heavily that Google has ignored it for well over a decade.

The practical takeaway: do not waste time on a keywords meta tag for Google. Focus on a strong title and description, correct Open Graph and Twitter tags for sharing, and a sensible robots directive - which is exactly what this generator produces.

How to use this tool

Fill in your page details - title, description, canonical URL, social image, and so on. The generator outputs a complete, correctly-escaped block of meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Card markup. Copy it and paste it inside your page's <head>.

Consistent tags, every page

Hand-writing tags for one page is quick; doing it across a whole content library is not. Soro generates titles, descriptions, and metadata automatically as it publishes, keeping your site consistently optimised. See Soro in action.

Frequently asked questions

What meta tags does my page need?

At minimum: a title tag, meta description, and viewport. For good social sharing, add Open Graph (og:) and Twitter Card tags so links preview nicely.

What are Open Graph tags?

Open Graph tags control how your page looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms - the title, description, and preview image.

Where do meta tags go?

All meta tags belong inside the <head> section of your HTML document, before the closing </head> tag.

What is the difference between meta tags and keywords?

"Meta tags" is the umbrella term for all <head> tags - title, description, viewport, robots, Open Graph, and Twitter. The separate "meta keywords" tag was for listing target keywords, but Google has ignored it for years, so it is not worth using.
