Robots Meta Tag Generator
Toggle noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, max-snippet and more to generate a valid robots meta tag for any page.
Control indexing page by page
While robots.txt manages crawling across whole paths, the robots meta tag gives you precise, per-page control over how search engines index and display a URL. It's how you keep a thank-you page or internal search result out of the index, stop a page from passing link equity, prevent caching, or cap how much of your content shows as a snippet. This generator lets you toggle each directive and assembles the correct tag instantly.
Remember the page must stay crawlable for the directive to take effect — don't also block it in robots.txt, or the
crawler will never see the noindex. Paste the generated tag into the page's <head>.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the robots meta tag?
The robots meta tag is an HTML tag in the <head> that tells search engines how to index and display a specific page — for example noindex to keep it out of results, or nofollow to not pass link equity.
When should I use noindex?
Use noindex for thank-you pages, internal search results, staging pages, and thin or duplicate content you do not want in search. The page must remain crawlable for the directive to be seen.
What do nosnippet and max-snippet do?
nosnippet hides the text snippet in results; max-snippet limits its length to a set number of characters. They control how much of your page Google can show in a result.
Is this tool free and private?
Yes. The tag is generated in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
