SEO Title & Meta Description Checker

Enter your page title, URL and meta description to preview your Google snippet, check lengths & pixel widths, and get simple fixes. Lengths are guidelines, not ranking guarantees.

1 · Enter your page details

Page title (title tag)0 chars

Aim for 50–60 characters. Google truncates by pixels (~600px), not just characters.

Page URL0 chars

Use short, lowercase, hyphenated slugs. Shown as the breadcrumb under your site name.

Meta description 0 chars

Aim for 120–158 characters so the full message usually shows on desktop.

Your meta description will appear here. Google may rewrite it or show page text instead — a clear, accurate description still helps clicks.

title: 0px / 600px description: 0 chars

Guidelines, not guarantees. Google truncates long titles/descriptions, often rewrites them, and does not use meta descriptions directly for ranking. Use this tool to avoid truncation and write clearer snippets that earn clicks.

How to use these numbers

What length should I aim for?

Title: about 50–60 characters (under ~600px). Meta description: about 120–158 characters. Shorter is safe; longer usually gets cut with a "…". Wide characters (W, M, caps) eat pixels faster than narrow ones (i, l, t).

Why does Google rewrite my snippet anyway?

Google frequently rewrites titles and descriptions to match the query — studies find rewrites more than half the time. A clear, accurate title and description still raises the odds your preferred text is used, and helps click-through even when rewritten.

Do meta descriptions affect rankings?

No, not directly. Google has said meta descriptions are not a ranking factor. They act like ad copy: a relevant, specific description with a benefit or call to action can earn more clicks, which is why this checker focuses on clarity and truncation rather than "SEO score" tricks.

Desktop vs. mobile preview?

Desktop shows roughly 600px titles and ~2 lines of description (~150–160 chars). Mobile is narrower and can truncate sooner. Toggle both above — if it fits on mobile, it almost always fits on desktop.

Tip: front-load important words — truncated text cuts from the right. Keep branding at the end (e.g. "… | Brand").
