Free Meta Title & Description Checker

Type your title and description. See exactly how Google is likely to show them — and get specific fixes based on Google’s own guidance, not made-up rules. Free, no signup, nothing is sent anywhere.

Important, authentic fact: Google sets no hard character limit for titles or descriptions. It truncates by device width. The 50–60 / 120–160 ranges below are practical targets widely observed in search results — not Google rules. Pixel width is the real check.

How to use it

1. Paste your title and description from Rank Math, Yoast, or your CMS.
2. Read the Authentic Suggestions box — it tells you the exact fix for your text, not generic advice.
3. Use the suggested trimmed version if yours is too long, or expand it if it is too short.
4. Copy the fixed version back into your page and publish.

Frequently asked questions

Is 60 characters a Google rule?
No. Google says there is no limit on how long a <title> can be, but it is truncated to fit device width. 50–60 characters is a practical target because it usually fits ~600 px.

Does the meta description affect rankings?
No, not directly. It affects clicks. A clear, honest description brings the right visitors.

Why does Google sometimes show a different description?
Google builds snippets mainly from page content and uses your description when it describes the page better for that query. A strong, relevant description reduces rewrites.

Should every page have a unique title and description?
Yes. Google’s guidance is distinct, descriptive text per page — duplicates make pages indistinguishable in results.

Is my data saved?
No. This tool runs only in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
