Frequently Asked Questions

What are meta tags and why are they important for SEO?
Meta tags are HTML elements placed in the <head> section of web pages that provide metadata about your page to search engines and social media platforms.
How long should my meta title and description be?
Meta title (title tag) should be 50-60 characters maximum because Google typically displays only the first 50-60 characters in search results before truncating with "..." which looks unprofessional and can cut off important keywords or calls to action. Meta description should be 150-160 characters because Google displays approximately 155-160 characters in desktop search results and 120 characters on mobile, though this varies based on pixel width rather than strict character count. Our generator includes real-time character counters that turn orange when you approach limits and red when you exceed them.
What's the difference between Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags?
Open Graph meta tags (starting with og:) were created by Facebook and are now used by Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and many other platforms to control how links appear when shared. Twitter Cards (starting with twitter:) are Twitter's proprietary system for rich media attachments in tweets. While Twitter will fall back to Open Graph tags if Twitter Card tags are missing, implementing both gives you optimal control over appearance on each platform. Key differences include image dimensions where Open Graph recommends 1200x630px while Twitter prefers 1200x675px for large cards, card types where Twitter offers summary, summary_large_image, app, and player cards while Open Graph uses type values like website, article, product, video, attribution where Twitter Card tags can specify both site and creator handles while Open Graph focuses on site name.
Do I need to add meta tags to every page on my website?
Yes, every indexable page on your website should have unique, descriptive meta tags customized for that specific page's content. Using identical meta tags across multiple pages (duplicate meta tags) is a common SEO mistake that confuses search engines about which page to rank for specific queries and can result in search engines choosing the "wrong" page to display for certain searches. Each page should have a unique title tag describing that specific page's content, a unique meta description highlighting that page's value proposition, appropriate canonical tags pointing to the definitive version if multiple URLs display similar content, and matching Open Graph/Twitter Card tags for social sharing. For large websites with thousands of pages, you should implement dynamic meta tag generation in your CMS or backend system using templates with variables like [Product Name], [Category], [Brand] to ensure uniqueness at scale.
How do I add the generated meta tags to my website?
Adding meta tags depends on your website platform. For HTML websites, paste the generated meta tags directly into the <head> section of your HTML file between <head> and </head> tags, above the closing head tag. For WordPress, you can use SEO plugins like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO which provide user-friendly interfaces for adding meta tags without editing code - simply enter your title and description in the plugin's fields below your post editor and it automatically generates proper meta tags. For Shopify, go to your page or product editor, scroll down to "Search engine listing preview" section, click "Edit website SEO", and enter your title and description. For Wix, use the built-in SEO Wiz tool or edit each page's SEO settings in the Pages menu. For Squarespace, go to page settings and use the "SEO" tab to add meta information.
