Boneyard Tools

Meta Tag Generator

Fill in your title and description and get a ready-to-paste block of HTML meta tags. Live character counters keep the title near 60 characters and the description near 160, and everything is escaped for you.

How to generate meta tags

  1. Type your page title and meta description; watch the character counters.
  2. Add optional keywords, an author, and a robots setting if you need them.
  3. Copy the generated HTML and paste it inside the <head> of your page.

Examples

Basic title and description

title: Boneyard Tools, description: Free online utilities
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<title>Boneyard Tools</title>
<meta name="description" content="Free online utilities" />

Frequently asked questions

Which meta tags actually matter for SEO?

The title tag and meta description are the ones that count. The title is a strong ranking and click factor, and the description is the snippet text Google often shows in results. Charset and viewport matter for rendering, not ranking.

What is the ideal title and description length?

Keep titles to roughly 60 characters and descriptions to roughly 160 so they are not cut off in search results. The live counters in this tool turn red once you go over those soft limits.

Do keywords meta tags help ranking?

Mostly no. Google has ignored the keywords meta tag for years because it was abused, so it has no effect on Google rankings. It is included here only for the rare crawler or internal system that still reads it.

Where do I paste the generated tags?

Put them inside the <head> element of your HTML, before the closing </head> tag. If your CMS or framework already outputs a title or charset, replace those instead of duplicating them.

Is my input sent to a server?

No. The tags are built entirely in your browser with JavaScript, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored.

What does the robots setting do?

It tells search engines whether to index the page and follow its links. Use 'index, follow' for normal pages and 'noindex, nofollow' for pages you want kept out of search.
