How your page could look on Google

    Why titles get cut off

    Google shortens titles by width, not by a fixed number of characters, so a title full of wide letters is cut sooner. This tool measures your title at the size Google uses and shows a warning when it is likely to be shortened. Treat it as a close guide: Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions.

    How to write a title that gets clicks

    • Start with the words people search for, such as your service and your town.
    • Add a reason to choose you, such as a price or a guarantee.
    • Keep your business name at the end, or leave it out if space is tight.

    How to write a meta description

    Aim for about 120 to 155 characters that say what the page offers and what to do next. Google does not use the description to rank pages, but a clear one helps people choose your result.

    Common questions

    How long should a page title be?

    Short enough to fit about 580 pixels, which is usually 50 to 60 characters. Put the important words first.

    How long should a meta description be?

    About 120 to 155 characters. Longer descriptions are often cut off.

    Does Google always show my title?

    Not always. Google sometimes rewrites titles, but it uses a clear, accurate title most of the time.

    Yes, with no sign-up. Nothing you type is sent to us.
