Measured in pixels with the font and size of Google results. Google may also rewrite the title or description if it finds them a poor match for the search.

Write a title and description people want to click

  • The title counts in pixels

    Google cuts the title around 600 pixels on desktop, 50 to 60 characters depending on the letters. A W takes far more room than an i.

  • The keyword first

    Put the target search at the start of the title: it is what the eye reads first and what Google shows in bold.

  • A description that answers

    In 120 to 155 characters, say what people will find on the page and why they should click on yours rather than another.

  • One page, one title

    Each page has its own title and description. Two identical pages compete with each other in the results.

  • Google rewrites the title when it finds it too long, too vague or different from the content. A clear, unique title that matches the h1 is almost always kept.

  • About 155 characters at most on desktop, a little less on mobile. The tool shows you the exact cut-off.

  • No, it does not count for ranking. It does make people want to click, which brings more visits.
