Previews are approximate. Google may rewrite titles and descriptions, and truncation depends on pixel width — we measure in Arial like Google (600px title, ~920px description on desktop).

Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag be?
Google truncates titles at roughly 600 pixels on desktop, which is usually 50–60 characters. Wide letters like W and M take more space than i or l, so pixel width matters more than character count.
How long should a meta description be?
Aim for 70–160 characters. Google typically shows about 920 pixels (two lines) on desktop and less on mobile, and cuts the rest with an ellipsis.
Why does Google show a different title or description than mine?
Google rewrites snippets when it thinks another text on the page better matches the search query — often when the title is too long, stuffed with keywords, or the description is missing or generic. A concise, accurate title and description get rewritten less often.
Do meta descriptions affect rankings?
Not directly. But the snippet is your ad in the search results: a compelling description increases click-through rate, which brings more traffic from the same ranking.
How accurate is this preview?
We measure text with the same font Google uses (Arial) and apply typical pixel limits, so truncation is very close to real results. Google occasionally changes its layout, and snippets vary by query and device.
