Your title and description are the advert people see before they click. Type them in and see a live preview of your Google listing, with clear warnings when they’re too long to show in full.
A guide, not a guarantee. Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions, and shows different lengths on different screens.
Good titles are the start. Our SEO service handles the keyword research, on-page work and local signals that get you ranking. From £99.
When someone searches on Google, the blue title and the grey description underneath are the only things they see before deciding whether to click you or the business below you. Get them right and you win the click even if you rank a little lower. Get them wrong, or let Google cut them off mid-sentence, and you leak visitors to competitors who wrote theirs properly.
This tool shows a live preview of your listing as you type, on both desktop and mobile, and warns you when your title or description is likely to be truncated. As a rule of thumb, aim for a title around 50 to 60 characters and a description around 120 to 155 characters, but length in pixels matters more than the raw count, which is why the preview cuts things off the way Google actually would. Lead with the words that matter, include your location if you’re a local business, and write for a human, not a keyword stuffer.
Remember that Google has the final say and sometimes rewrites snippets based on the search. Treat this as a way to write tighter, more clickable titles and descriptions, not a promise of exactly what will show. If you’d like the whole job done for you, that’s what our SEO service is for.
