Why pixels matter more than characters

      
Google does not cut titles off at a fixed number of characters. It truncates by width - roughly 600 pixels for titles on desktop - so a title full of wide letters like W and M is cut sooner than one with narrow letters like i and l. This tool measures your text in the same font and size Google uses, which is far more accurate than a character count.

    

    
    

      
Writing titles and descriptions that get clicks

      
  • Put the main keyword near the start of the title.
  • Make the description a reason to click: what the reader gets, in plain words.
  • Every page should have its own title and description - duplicates confuse search engines.
  • Google may rewrite descriptions it thinks do not match the search, so make sure yours actually summarises the page.

    

    

    

      
Frequently asked questions

      

        
        

          How long should a title tag be?
          
Up to about 600 pixels, which is usually 50-60 characters. The bar under the title shows how much of the width you have used.

        

        
        

          How long should a meta description be?
          
Around 920 pixels on desktop (about 150-160 characters) and less on mobile. Put the important part first in case it is shortened.

        

        
        

          Does the meta description affect rankings?
          
Not directly, but a clear, relevant description improves click-through rate, which is what turns a ranking into visitors.
