Long titles and descriptions get cut off in search results, which can hide the part that makes people click. Google trims snippets by display width rather than a fixed character count, but character targets are a practical guide while you write.
This checker counts characters as you type, flags a title outside 30-60 characters or a description outside 70-160, estimates the width, checks whether your target phrase appears, and shows a simple search-result style preview.
A meta title and description checker lets you input your SEO title and meta description and see immediately whether they fit within Google's display limits - with a visual SERP snippet preview showing how your page will look in search results.

(149 chars)Moving primary keywords toward the beginning of the title and keeping length under 60 characters prevents awkward mid-sentence truncation in Google search results.
Problem
Solution
Google truncates titles at approximately 600 pixels, not an exact character count. Capital letters (like W, M) occupy more width than lowercase letters (i, l), meaning a 58-character title with all caps can still truncate.
Problem
Solution
Listing repeated keywords without a coherent sentence reduces searcher trust and lowers organic click-through rates. Write descriptions for human decision-makers.
Problem
Solution
Appending long sitewide suffixes like ' - Best Online Web Development Company in North America' consumes 40+ characters, crowding out the unique page topic.
Leading with the core topic ensures searchers see relevance immediately on mobile screens where space is tight.
Words like 'Free', 'Step-by-Step', 'Calculator', or 'Examples' clarify what the user gains by clicking.
Even when your title tag perfectly matches character guidelines, Google's algorithms may choose an alternate heading from your page if they deem it more relevant to a specific search query.
This tool validates input text locally and does not crawl remote live servers or check historical Google Search Console ranking data.
The most common question is how long a title and description should be. This checker's good ranges are 30-60 characters for titles and 70-160 for descriptions; Google cuts snippets by width rather than characters, so treat them as targets. The FAQs below cover the width estimate and the keyword check.
This checker marks a title of 30-60 characters and a description of 70-160 characters as a good range. Google doesn't use a fixed character limit - it cuts snippets by display width - so use these as practical targets rather than hard rules.
It's a rough estimate: about 8 pixels per character for the title and 5 for the description. Real width depends on the letters - "WWW" is far wider than "iii" - so leave some room if you're close to the limit.
It looks for your target phrase exactly as typed, ignoring capital letters, and reports whether it appears in the title and in the description. It doesn't count variations, plurals or synonyms.
No. You paste the title and description yourself; nothing is fetched from a URL, so you can check drafts before they are published.
