FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a SERP snippet preview?
It is a tool that shows how your page title and meta description will appear in Google search results before you publish, on both desktop and mobile.
How long should my title tag be?
Aim for around 50 to 60 characters, but pixel width matters more than character count. The preview warns you when a title risks truncation.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Keep it near 150 to 160 characters. Longer descriptions are usually cut off, so put the key message and call to action first.
Does the meta description affect rankings?
Not directly, but a compelling description improves click through rate, which supports your overall search performance.
Why does my snippet look different in Google?
Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions based on the query. A clear, relevant snippet reduces how often that happens.
Can I preview mobile and desktop separately?
Yes. The SERP snippet preview shows both, because mobile displays fewer characters and can truncate a snippet that fits on desktop.
