Frequently asked questions

What are the optimal lengths for titles and descriptions?

The tool targets roughly 50-60 characters for the page title and 150-160 characters for the meta description. Staying in these ranges reduces the chance that search engines truncate your text with an ellipsis.

Why does it warn about truncation?

Google renders titles and descriptions within a limited pixel width, so overly long values get cut off. The counter flags titles and descriptions that exceed the recommended length so you can trim them before they are clipped in the results.

Does the live preview match Google exactly?

The preview is a simplified representation of a typical desktop search result, including the title, URL, and description. Actual appearance varies by device, query, and Google's own rewriting, but it gives a reliable visual sense of fit.

Does Google count characters or pixels?

Google ultimately measures display width in pixels, not characters, so wide letters fill space faster than narrow ones. Character limits like 50-60 are a practical, easy-to-use approximation of those pixel limits for most fonts.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. Counting and previewing happen entirely in your browser, so your titles and descriptions are never sent to a server. The tool is free and needs no registration.
