Meta Title Generator: Free (AI-Powered) SEO Titles for Search Engines

Rank Higher in Google With this Free Meta Title Generator (for More SEO Traffic)

If you want to rank well in search engines, you need to give your pages the right meta titles. Your meta title is the page or post title that appears in Google’s search engine results page (SERP), along with your SEO meta description:

In many cases, your meta title will match your on-page title—that’s the text in the <h1> tag at the top of your page. But it doesn’t have to! You can set a different meta title, carefully designed for maximum SEO (search engine optimization). Remember though, you’re still writing for humans, which requires high-quality content that connects with real readers.

Your meta title, also called your SEO title, is one of the most important ranking factors for your content. It needs to incorporate your primary keyword (so search engines rank it high for that keyword) and it needs to be appealing and engaging for readers (so people click on it).

Because of that, your meta title can easily make or break your post. You want to do everything you can to get it right—whether you’re optimizing a product description title, LinkedIn headline, blog post title or otherwise. And I’ve made it easy for you with my free meta title generator. This clever AI writer tool lets you come up with meta titles that seamlessly incorporate your keyword and grab readers’ attention.

What is a Meta Title Generator Tool?

A meta title generator tool is a piece of software that creates SEO-friendly meta titles for your content. It lets you input a keyword before using the power of AI (artificial intelligence) to give you a selection of catchy titles to choose from, all related to your starting topic or keyword.

Hiring a copywriter or SEO professional to craft meta titles for you could cost a fortune. My free tool lets you create as many titles as you want, giving you 5 options to choose from each time. You can run the tool again and again.

The best meta title tools will let you choose your tone and style, meaning you can match your titles to your brand and your usual writing voice. Good tools will also make sure your titles are the right length to display in full in Google. 

How to Use the Meta Title Generator Tool to Craft Winning SEO-Friendly Titles

Now that you’re clear what a meta title is and why it’s so important for SEO and for organic traffic, let’s dig into how you can use the meta title generator to craft the perfect titles for your blog posts (and for your sales pages).

Type in Your Blog Post’s Working Title, Keyword, or Topic

You can give the meta title tool your working title (or quickly come up with a brilliant title using my free blog title generator), if you have one for your blog post or content. The tool will then give you lots of beefed-up options to choose from, ensuring that your titles are engaging and catchy.

If you don’t yet have a working title, no problem. Go ahead and enter the keyword that you’re optimizing for. That way, you can use the SEO title tool as an idea generator, giving you loads of blog post titles or headlines to pick from.

You can also put in a general topic, though you’ll want to follow this up by using my free keyword research tool so you can tweak your headline to optimize it for an achievable keyword. 

Choose Your Tone & Writing Style

Your SEO title needs to do a lot in a short amount of space. It needs to clearly tell search engines what your post is about (by including your keyword), it needs to give people a clear reason to click through and read your post, and it should also give some sense of your brand or voice.

The fully featured version of my meta title generator tool inside RightBlogger has a tone/style option so you can choose whatever style is the closest fit for your brand. If you’re already using RightBlogger, try out “professional” versus “fun & quirky” to see how distinct the tone of your titles can be.

Generate 5 Meta Titles to Choose From—Or More!

When you run the meta title tool, it’ll give you at least 5+ titles to pick from—all relating to your keyword, topic, or working title, and all based on proven templates. You can choose the one you like best or even mix and match elements of 2 or more titles.

What if none of the AI-generated SEO titles seem quite right for your post? You can simply run the tool again. Generate as many options as you want, then pick the one that you like best. The meta title generator doesn’t have any usage limits, so you can run it as many times as you like.

When you’re choosing a title, you’ll want to think about:

• Does this title fit closely with the content I’ve written (or plan to write)? You want your title to clearly reflect your post or page, so that readers know what to expect before they click.
• Will this title appeal to my target audience? Perhaps you want a title that sounds positive rather than negative, for instance, because you know your audience responds well to that. Or maybe you’re writing for an audience of beginners, so you want a title that promises an easily achievable result.

Keep in mind, your unique use cases for the meta title you’re writing may mean taking a very different approach to your content creation process—but I’ve found these kinds of tools helpful in saving time & generating ideas.

Check Your Meta Title Incorporates Your Target Keyword Phrase

The meta title tool is designed to work with a range of inputs, including working titles and topics as well as keywords. That means that your title options won’t all necessarily include your exact keyword.

If you’ve chosen an SEO title that doesn’t have your keyword in it, simply tweak it to incorporate that keyword. For instance, let’s say your keyword is best hiking backpacks. The title tool might suggest the option Top-Rated Hiking Backpacks: A Complete Guide. You could easily tweak this to Best Hiking Backpacks: A Complete Guide.

Add Your Meta Title to Your Post or Page in WordPress

Once you’ve got a meta title that you’re happy with, it’s time to add it to your post or page as an HTML meta tag. The easiest way to do this on a WordPress website is by using a plugin.

Installing an SEO Plugin on Your Website

You’ll need to install an SEO plugin on your site. My favorite is Yoast SEO. To install it, login to your WordPress admin area, then go to Plugins→ Add New. Type “Yoast” into the search box, and then click Install Now on the Yoast SEO plugin. After installing it, click Activate.

Now, all your posts and pages will have an extra section for your meta title and meta description.

Adding the Meta Title to Your Post or Page

Go ahead and edit the post page you’re working on (or create a new post or page). Scroll down to below the content box and you’ll see the new Yoast options, with fields for your SEO title, slug, and meta description.

Copy and paste your title into the SEO title box, then save your post.

Bonus: Use My Free SEO Checklist Alongside this Meta Title Tool

While using the meta title tool will give you a big SEO boost, there’s plenty more you can do. You want to make sure your entire post is carefully optimized to rank as well as possible on search engines. I’ve got lots of details on how to do that in my guide to blog SEO.

Here’s my own SEO checklist that you can use yourself, before publishing new posts or updating old ones.

1. Install and activate the Yoast WordPress plugin
2. Always optimize your posts for a keyword phrase that fits with your target audience
3. Craft good subheadings (using keywords) so Google can index your post faster and use it for rich snippets
4. Only use an H1 header for your title at the top of the post or page 
5. Get your header hierarchy right: H2 for subheadings and H3 for nested subheadings beneath those
6. Include your primary keyword phrase several times in your post—don’t force it, it should sound natural
7. Add links to your page/post to other content on your site and include 3–5 links to other people’s websites too
8. Craft an enticing meta description that makes a clear promise to the reader, drawing them in
9. Check that all of your images have alt text that incorporates your primary and/or secondary keywords
10. Make sure your post is long enough—ideally, 1,500 words or more (add an “FAQs” or “Bonus Tips” section to boost the wordcount if you need to)
11. Use the meta title generator to create an SEO title that will rank well in Google
12. Include your primary keyword in your permalink (also called the post/page URL or slug)

Now that we’ve covered the basics of what makes a proper meta title to optimize your content for more Google search engine traffic, let’s dive a little deeper into the features of my free SEO title generator tool.

The Features of this Free Meta Title Tool

We’ve already taken a look at how to craft great meta titles with the help of this tool, but perhaps you’re curious and want to know a bit more about its features and how they all work. Let’s dig in and take a closer look.

Topic/Keyword (You Can Use Your Full Working Title)

To get an SEO title, the tool needs to know what you’re writing about! The topic/keyword field lets you enter anything from a single-word keyword to a full working title—and the tool will do its best to come up with SEO titles to suit you.

Before generating a meta title, I’d recommend that:

• If you’ve done your keyword research but don’t yet have a clear blog post idea to write about, you enter your chosen keyword. That way, the tool can come up with SEO titles that also work as full blog ideas.
• If you’ve got a topic idea (based on a keyword) but you haven’t yet crafted a title, enter your topic. For instance, your keyword might be best running shoes and your topic might be top 10 best running shoes. 
• If you’ve got a working title, use the whole thing. This helps the meta title tool get a good understanding of the type of SEO title to create.

Don’t worry if you’re not quite sure what to type into the text field, though. You can always run the tool again, with a slightly different keyword, topic, or title, if the initial set of meta titles isn’t quite what you were looking for.

Tone & Writing Style (Get SEO Titles That Match Your Brand)

Like all my fully-featured AI tools inside RightBlogger, the meta title generator (and meta description generator) lets you pick your tone & writing style—so you can match your meta titles to your brand and voice. This free version of the tool, however, is limited to the default settings on your SEO title outputs, which are still great tbh.

There are lots of different styles to choose from. You might want to stick with “Default” to start with, which will produce titles in a conversational, fairly informal voice. Then, you could try changing to a style like “Professional” or “Formal” for a more corporate tone—or go with “Excited” or “Fun & Quirky” for a young, informal style.

The style you pick will influence word choices and punctuation (you’ll often see exclamation points showing up in titles using “excited”, for instance). If you’re writing a sales page or landing page, the “sales-oriented” option will be a good fit for your meta title.

Language (Choose Your Preferred Language)

This free meta title generator defaults to output only in English (US)… but if you’re a RightBlogger user, you don’t have to mess with translating your meta titles. You can choose from 20+ other languages, if you prefer. 

Whether you’re creating bilingual or multilingual content, or your whole site is in a language other than English, picking your language here can save you a ton of time in manually translating SEO titles.
