Approximate. Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions, and adds dates or ratings.

Free, no sign-up. Runs in your browser, so nothing you enter or upload is sent to our server.

How to Use the SERP Preview & Meta Length Checker

  1. Enter your page title, URL and meta description.
  2. Watch the preview update as you type, and switch between mobile and desktop.
  3. Keep the title bar and description bar in the green so Google does not cut them off.
  4. Copy the finished HTML tags into your page or SEO plugin.

Why It Matters

Your title and meta description are the first thing people see in Google, and they decide whether someone clicks your result or a competitor's. If they are too long, Google cuts them off with "...", often in the middle of the most important words.

Google limits titles by width, not by a fixed number of characters: roughly 580 pixels on desktop. Wide letters such as W and M take more room than i or l. This tool measures your text in pixels using the same font size Google uses, so the checks are more accurate than a simple character count. Aim for titles of about 50–60 characters and descriptions of about 140–155 characters.

SERP Preview & Meta Length Checker: Questions

How long should a title tag be?
Keep it under about 580 pixels, which is usually 50–60 characters. Put the most important keyword near the start in case Google shortens it.
How long should a meta description be?
Around 140–155 characters on desktop. Mobile can show slightly more, but the start of the description matters most.
Why does Google show a different description from mine?
Google rewrites descriptions when it thinks another part of the page answers the search better. A clear, accurate description that matches the page content is used more often.
Does the meta description affect rankings?
Not directly. It affects how many people click your result, and more clicks from the same position means more traffic.
