Meta Length Checker
Check your meta title and description against Google's pixel and character display limits before you publish.
Length check
What it measures
Google shows roughly 50 to 60 characters of a title and around 155 of a description before truncating. This checks both while you type.
Why it matters
A truncated title loses its ending, which is often where the differentiator lives. Checking takes seconds and protects the click.
A worked example
A 72 character title will be cut on most results pages. Front load the keyword and the hook inside the first 50.
How to read and improve it
Write titles as arguments for the click, not keyword strings. The description is ad copy; treat it like you would a paid headline.
Frequently asked questions
Are the limits exact?
Google measures pixels, not characters, so these are safe approximations. Keep titles under 60 and descriptions under 155 and you are rarely cut.
Does Google always use my description?
No, it rewrites freely. A good description still wins the cases where it is used.
