Should every blog post have its own meta description?

Yes. A unique meta description for each post helps search engines understand individual page content and gives each post the best chance of a high click-through rate in results.

What is the best title tag format for blog posts?

A common high-performing format is "Primary Keyword: Supporting Detail | Brand Name" — for example, "How to Write Meta Tags: A Complete Guide | FixTools". Keep it under 60 characters.

Does the og:article type improve social reach?

It can. Platforms like Facebook use the article type to categorise content and may give it additional reach in news feeds compared to generic "website" type pages.

An SEO specialist auditing a 3-year-old blog updates 40 posts that were published with no meta descriptions, using the generator to write targeted descriptions for each based on current keyword data.

When to use this guide

Use this every time you publish a new blog post to ensure it has a complete, correctly formatted set of title, description, and social sharing tags before going live.

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

Include the target keyword in your title tag

For blog posts, place your primary keyword as close to the beginning of the title tag as possible. This is one of the strongest on-page SEO signals.

Use og:type = "article" not "website"

Setting the Open Graph type to "article" unlocks additional properties like article:author and article:published_time, which help platforms better understand and display your content.

Match your meta description to search intent

Read the top 3 results for your target keyword and notice the language they use in descriptions. Match that framing to align with what searchers expect to find.
