What is Robots Meta Tag Generator?

A robots meta tag gives page-level instructions to search engines. It can allow indexing, prevent indexing, allow or block following links, limit snippets, and control image previews. It is useful when one page needs special treatment without changing the whole site's robots.txt file.

How to use this tool

Choose whether the page should be indexed and whether links should be followed.
Enable optional directives such as noarchive, nosnippet, or noimageindex only when needed.
Set image preview and snippet length rules if the page has special preview requirements.
Copy the generated meta tag into the page head.

What you can use it for

Prevent a utility page from appearing in search results.
Allow indexing while limiting snippets or previews.
Create a robots directive for one page without changing robots.txt.

Use cases

Practical examples

Example

Noindex a thank-you page

A site has a confirmation page that users see after submitting a form. The robots meta tag can keep that utility page out of search results.

Example

Limit preview controls

A publisher can allow a page to be indexed but restrict snippet or image preview behavior when the content needs a smaller search preview.

Common mistakes

Using noindex on a page that should rank.
Blocking a page in robots.txt and expecting search engines to see its noindex tag.
Adding conflicting directives such as index and noindex together.
