What is the ideal title tag length?

Google displays approximately 50-60 characters (600 pixels wide) on desktop. We recommend keeping titles under 60 characters to avoid truncation. For mobile, aim for 50 characters or less.

What is the ideal meta description length?

Google shows about 150-160 characters on desktop and 120-130 on mobile. We recommend 150-155 characters as the sweet spot for both devices.

Why does my description get cut off?

Google truncates descriptions that are too long and adds an ellipsis (...). Keep your most important information and call-to-action within the first 120 characters to ensure they're always visible.

Does Google always use my meta description?

Not always. Google may generate its own snippet if it better matches the search query. However, well-written, relevant descriptions are more likely to be used as-is.
