Which meta tags actually matter for SEO?
- Title – the clickable headline in Google and one of the strongest signals of what the page is about.
- Meta description – doesn't affect rankings directly, but it's your advert in the results and affects how many people click.
- Canonical – tells search engines which address is the main version when the same page can be reached in several ways.
- Robots – lets you keep a page out of search with
noindex.max-image-preview:largeallows big image previews in Google Discover. - Viewport – needed for the page to display properly on phones, which is how Google indexes it.
- Open Graph – controls the title, text and image shown when someone shares the page on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or X.
Which meta tags can I ignore?
The keywords meta tag has been ignored by Google since 2009, so this generator leaves it out. Tags such as revisit-after, rating and author have no effect on Google rankings either.
How do I add meta tags to my website?
Paste the generated code between <head> and </head> in your page's HTML. On WordPress, use an SEO plugin's title and description boxes instead of pasting code; on Wix, Squarespace and Shopify, look for "SEO settings" on each page. Then run a free SEO check to confirm Google can see them.
