Google typically truncates titles around 60 characters and descriptions around 155–160. Check yours below.
How it works
The counters just measure raw character length against two thresholds each — green up to 60/160, amber up to 70/175, red beyond that — while the preview box below mimics Google's search-result styling and lets its own CSS ellipsis clip the title if it overflows the box, the same way an actual result gets visually truncated. Nothing is submitted anywhere; every count and the preview text update on each keystroke.
FAQ
Why does the title in the preview get cut off with '...' but the count shows something different?
The preview truncates visually with a CSS ellipsis based on the box's pixel width, not a fixed character count — Google's real truncation point varies by character width too (narrow letters fit more per line than wide capitals), so the 60-character guideline is an approximation, not an exact cutoff.
Are 60 and 160 characters hard limits Google enforces?
No — Google truncates based on rendered pixel width, not character count, and can also rewrite your title or description entirely if it thinks a different snippet better matches the search query; these numbers are practical guidelines, not guaranteed cutoffs.
