Tips for this title

    Widths are measured in Arial at 20px for titles and 14px for descriptions. The limits (about 600px for titles, about 920px for descriptions on desktop and 680px on mobile) are approximations. Google does not publish exact numbers and may rewrite your title or description.

    How it works

    Write titles people want to click

    How to use it

    1. Paste your page title, URL, meta description and site name. Or start with an example.
    2. Add your main search phrase to check where it sits in the title.
    3. Watch the bars. Green fits, amber is close to the limit and red will likely be cut off.
    4. Switch between desktop and mobile to compare.
    5. Copy your final title and description into your SEO plugin, such as Yoast.

    Why it matters

    Your title is often the first thing people read in Google. Google shortens long title links to fit the device width, so put the important words first. Source: Influencing your title links in search results.

    Google may rewrite your title. It mostly uses your title element, but it can also use headings or other text on the page. Titles that are accurate, concise and not stuffed with keywords are less likely to be changed.

    Google uses your meta description for the snippet when it describes the page better than the page text. There is no fixed length limit, and long snippets are cut to fit the screen. Source: How to write meta descriptions.

    Give every page its own title and description. Google says repeated or boilerplate titles make pages hard to tell apart. The pixel limits in this tool are approximations, because Google does not publish exact numbers.
