Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my title get cut off in Google?⌄

Google truncates titles based on pixel width, not a fixed character count. Wider characters like 'W' or 'M' use more space than narrow ones like 'i' or 'l'. That's why two titles with the same character count can truncate differently.

Does Google always use my meta description?⌄

No. Google frequently rewrites the displayed snippet to better match a specific search query, especially if your written description doesn't closely match what someone searched for. Writing a good description still helps for the queries where Google does use it.

What's the ideal meta description length?⌄

Roughly 150-160 characters on desktop is a safe target, though the actual cutoff is pixel-based and varies by device. Mobile snippets are typically shorter than desktop ones.
