How to use
the checker

  1. Pick the meta type — title or description — in the tabs above.

  2. Paste or type your content, then hit Check. After a quick email unlock, character and pixel meters show how you score against SERP limits.

  3. Watch the Google-style preview: when your text truncates there, it will truncate in real results too. Tighten until it fits.

Writing titles and descriptions that
survive the SERP

Match search intent

Lead with what the searcher actually wants — the limit is tight, so spend it on the promise, not the preamble.

Front-load primary keywords

Keywords early in the title survive truncation and confirm relevance at a glance.

Stay under the limits

Aim for 55–60 characters within 580px for titles and 150–160 characters within 920px for descriptions.

Mention the brand, add a CTA

Close titles with your brand and give descriptions a reason to click — a verb, an offer, an outcome.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the ideal length for a meta title?

55–60 characters, kept within about 580 pixels on desktop. Pixels decide truncation, which is why the tool measures both.

Can I use the same title tag on multiple pages?

You can, but you shouldn’t — duplicate titles blur relevance signals and make your pages compete with each other. Keep every title unique.

What happens if I don’t add a meta title?

Google generates one from your page content — usually your H1 or anchor text pointing at the page — and the result is rarely as compelling as one you wrote.

Why doesn’t Google always use my title tag?

When the tag is too long, stuffed, or mismatched to the query, Google may rewrite it from on-page text. Accurate, intent-matched titles within the limits get kept most often.
