Check if your title and meta description are the right length for Google.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a page title be?+−
Google typically displays the first 50–60 characters of a title tag. Titles shorter than 50 characters may leave valuable space unused, while titles over 60 characters risk being cut off in search results.
How long should a meta description be?+−
Google usually truncates meta descriptions at around 155–160 characters on desktop. Aim for 120–160 characters to ensure your full message appears in search results without being cut short.
Does Google always use my meta description?+−
No. Google may rewrite your meta description if it thinks a different excerpt from your page better matches a search query. Writing a clear, keyword-rich description still improves click-through rates and gives Google a strong signal.
Does the title tag affect SEO?+−
Yes — the title tag is one of the most important on-page SEO elements. It tells search engines what your page is about and is often the first thing users see in search results. Include your primary keyword close to the beginning.
