Open Tool
1

Enter page information

Fill in the page title (50-60 characters), meta description (150-160 characters), and canonical URL. The tool shows character counts and warns you if you exceed recommended lengths.

2

Configure Open Graph tags

Set the og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:type for rich previews on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Upload or enter the URL for a 1200x630 pixel image for optimal display.

3

Set up Twitter Card tags

Choose between summary, summary_large_image, or player card types. Enter your Twitter handle and card-specific fields. The large image card gives you the most visual real estate in timelines.

4

Preview social appearances

The tool renders preview cards showing exactly how your page will look in Google search results, Facebook shares, and Twitter posts. Adjust your tags until the previews look right.

5

Copy the HTML

Copy the complete set of meta tags as HTML and paste them into the `<head>` section of your page. The output includes charset, viewport, title, description, canonical, Open Graph, and Twitter tags.

Pro Tips

  • *Write unique title tags and descriptions for every page — duplicate meta tags confuse search engines.
  • *Front-load important keywords in your title tag — search engines give more weight to early words.
  • *Always include an og:image — social shares with images get significantly more engagement.
  • *Use the canonical tag to prevent duplicate content issues when the same page is accessible via multiple URLs.
  • *Test your tags with Facebook's Sharing Debugger and Twitter's Card Validator after deploying.
