# Meta Tags
Nuxt 3 provides several different ways to manage your meta tags.
1. Through your `nuxt.config` .
2022-09-13 12:54:31 +00:00
2. Through the `useHead` [composable ](/getting-started/head-management )
3. Through [global meta components ](/getting-started/head-management )
2022-03-30 17:32:30 +00:00
2022-09-08 18:54:02 +00:00
You can customize `title` , `titleTemplate` , `base` , `script` , `noscript` , `style` , `meta` , `link` , `htmlAttrs` and `bodyAttrs` .

::alert{icon=📦}
Nuxt currently uses [`vueuse/head` ](https://github.com/vueuse/head ) to manage your meta tags, but implementation details may change.

## Migration
1. In your `nuxt.config` , rename `head` to `meta` . Consider moving this shared meta configuration into your `app.vue` instead. (Note that objects no longer have a `hid` key for deduplication.)

1. If you need to access the component state with `head` , you should migrate to using `useHead` . You might also consider using the built-in meta-components.

### Example: `useHead`
2022-03-30 17:32:30 +00:00
::code-group
```vue [Nuxt 2]
< script >
export default {
data: () => ({
title: 'My App',
description: 'My App Description'
})
head () {
return {
title: this.title,
meta: [{
hid: 'description',
name: 'description',
content: this.description
}]
}
}
}
< / script >
```
```vue [Nuxt 3]
< script setup >
const title = ref('My App')
const description = ref('My App Description')
// This will be reactive even you change title/description above
2022-04-05 14:02:29 +00:00
useHead({
2022-03-30 17:32:30 +00:00
title,
meta: [{
name: 'description',
content: description
}]
})
< / script >
```

### Example: Built-in Meta-components
2022-03-30 17:32:30 +00:00
Nuxt 3 also provides meta components that you can use to accomplish the same task. While these components look similar to HTML tags, they are provided by Nuxt and have similar functionality.
::code-group
```vue [Nuxt 2]
< script >
export default {
head () {
return {
title: 'My App',
meta: [{
hid: 'description',
name: 'description',
content: 'My App Description'
}]
}
}
}
< / script >
```
```vue [Nuxt 3]
< template >
< div >
< Head >
< Title > My App< / Title >
< Meta name = "description" content = "My app description" / >
< / Head >
<!-- -->
< / div >
2022-04-06 05:56:08 +00:00
< / template >
2022-03-30 17:32:30 +00:00
```

1. Make sure you use capital letters for these component names to distinguish them from native HTML elements (`< Title > ` rather than `<title>` ).
1. You can place these components anywhere in your template for your page.
