How to use the Meta Tag Generator with Google and Social Previews

    Enter the page title, description, URL and share image.

    Check the length hints and the previews; shorten anything that gets cut off.
    
                            
    3.

                                    How long should a title and description be?
                                    
                                
                                
Titles: about 50–60 characters. Descriptions: about 120–160 characters. Longer text is cut off in Google results.

                            

                                                    

                                
                                    What size should the share image be?
                                    
                                
                                
1200 × 630 pixels (1.91:1). It shows sharp and uncropped on Facebook, LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp.

                            

                                                    

                                
                                    My old image still shows when I share the link
                                    
                                
                                
Social networks cache previews. Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn Post Inspector to refresh them after changing the tags.

                            

                                                    

                                
                                    Does Google always use my description?
                                    
                                
                                
Not always: Google may show a different part of the page if it matches the search better. A clear, accurate description is still used most of the time.
