Write meta and OG tags for a page

Search results read title and description; social shares read Open Graph. Generate the whole block to paste into a head.

The job

A page needs the head tags that decide how it appears in search results and shared-link cards: title, meta description, canonical URL, Open Graph fields, and a Twitter card type. Writing them by hand means remembering attribute names and escaping quotes.

How to do it

Fill only the fields the page has — an empty field emits no tag. Title and description show live character counts against the usual guidelines (~60 and ~160 characters). Generate, then copy the whole block into the page's head.

Worked example

A title of "ZOVLA tools" and a one-line description produce a <title>, meta description, og:title, og:description, and twitter:card tags. Add an image URL and the card upgrades to summary_large_image with og:image set.

Limits

The character guidelines are conventions, not limits — search results truncate by pixel width, and social cards cache the first scrape, so changes can take days to appear in shares. This tool writes tags; it cannot verify how a platform renders them.
