Meta tag FAQs
- How long should a meta title be?
- Aim for 50–60 characters, or roughly 580 pixels on desktop. Longer titles get truncated with an ellipsis, and Google may rewrite them entirely.
- How long should a meta description be?
- Around 140–158 characters. Descriptions do not affect rankings directly, but they strongly influence click-through rate.
- Why does Google rewrite my title?
- Google rewrites titles when it judges yours to be keyword-stuffed, too generic, or a poor match for the query. Descriptive, query-relevant titles are rewritten least often.
- Should the keyword go at the start of the title?
- Front-loading the primary keyword helps both truncation resilience and relevance, but readability comes first — an awkward title loses clicks.
- Does this tool store what I type?
- No. It runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
- Why do pixel widths matter more than character counts?
- Truncation is based on rendered width, not characters. A title full of wide letters like W and M truncates sooner than one full of i and l.
