How Google Displays Your Snippet

Google shows a blue title followed by a short description under your page address. Both are usually truncated when they run too long, which can cut your message in half and lower click-through rates.

Recommended Lengths

• Keep the title at or below 60 characters to avoid truncation.
• Keep the description at or below 160 characters.
• Put your most important keyword near the start of the title.
• Write a description that promises a clear benefit to the reader.

FAQ

• Does Google always use my title tag? Not always. It may rewrite titles it considers too long, too short, or stuffed with keywords.
• What do the green and orange counters mean? Green means you are within the recommended length, orange means the text will likely be cut off.
• Is the preview pixel perfect? It is a close approximation of Google's desktop layout, updated live as you type.

What Google truncates

Titles that are too long get cut off mid-word, and long descriptions end with an ellipsis. Testing a full-width preview shows exactly where the cut happens, so you can keep the important words inside the visible part.

How to write a snippet that gets clicks

• Lead with the value: what the page offers or solves.
• Use the keyword early, but read naturally.
• Stay inside the visible limits — don't waste pixels on branding.
• End with a concrete promise instead of a vague phrase.
