Google Search
Snippet Preview
Check how your title and description may look in search results, and whether they are likely to be cut off.
Type your page title, meta description and URL. The tool shows an approximate preview for desktop and mobile, with character counts and pixel-width meters so you can see whether a line is likely to be truncated. Google may still rewrite what it shows.

Preview
This is an approximation. Google chooses what to show and may rewrite your title or description, and pixel widths vary slightly by device and font.
Writing a title and description people click
Search engines cut a title or description when it is wider than the space available, and that space is measured in pixels, not characters. This is why a title of 55 characters can fit while another of 50 does not.
- Put the main topic first and your brand last.
- Make each title and description unique for each page.
- Write the description for people. Say what they will find and why it helps.
- Do not stuff keywords. Google often rewrites unclear or repetitive snippets.
Our SEO service includes writing and reviewing titles and descriptions for every important page.
Frequently Asked
What is the ideal title length?
There is no fixed number. As a guide, many titles fit within about 580 pixels on desktop, which is often around 50 to 60 characters. The meter shows an estimate for your exact text.
Why does Google show a different title or description?
Google may rewrite them if they do not match the page or the search. A clear, accurate title and description make that less likely.
Is the preview exact?
No. It is an approximation using common fonts and widths. Real results vary by device, query and how Google builds the result.
Do meta descriptions affect ranking?
They are not known to be a direct ranking factor, but a good description can improve how many people click your result.
