What it's for
Shows a realistic preview of how your page's title and meta description will look among Google's organic results, helping you adjust the text so it isn't cut off and attracts more clicks.
Recommended limits
Title: up to 60 characters (~580 pixels). Meta description: up to 160 characters. Google may rewrite these automatically in some cases, but staying within the limits reduces that chance.
Frequently asked questions
Does Google always use exactly the title and description I set?
Not necessarily — Google sometimes rewrites the snippet based on the page content and the user's search.
Why does my title show up truncated on Google?
Because it exceeded the pixel-width limit Google displays — usually around 60 characters.
