Title & Meta Description Length Checker

Check title and meta description length against SERP limits.

Title length0 / 60

Recommended 30–60 characters

Meta description length0 / 160

Recommended 70–160 characters

If your title or meta description is too long, Google cuts it off; too short, and you waste valuable space in the results. This checker measures both against their recommended ranges as you type, so you can trim them to fit before publishing.

How the Meta Description Length Checker works

Paste your title tag and meta description to see live character counts and a meter for each. Titles are best around 30–60 characters and meta descriptions around 70–160. The meters turn amber once you exceed the safe range, where Google is likely to truncate the text with an ellipsis. Google truncates by pixel width, so treat character counts as a reliable guide rather than a hard limit.

Example

You paste a 182-character meta description.

The meter turns amber and flags it as likely to be truncated.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 70–160 characters. Long enough to describe the page and earn the click, short enough that Google is unlikely to truncate it in the results.
