See how your page will look in Google before you publish. Type a title, meta description and address to get a live search result preview for desktop and mobile, with pixel widths measured the way Google cuts them, keyword checks and copy-ready tags. Check hundreds of pages at once in bulk mode.
Google will choose text from the page.

Type a page title, meta description and address to see the result as it will look on Google, on desktop and on a phone. The tool measures each line in pixels with the same Arial font Google uses, so you see exactly where a long title will be cut with "..." instead of guessing from a character count. Each line gets plain checks: too long, too short, keyword missing or late, repeated words, capitals and quotes that break the HTML. Bulk mode checks hundreds of pages at once from a spreadsheet or crawler export.
Tip: Write the title for the person searching, not for the search engine: what the page gives them, in their words, with the brand at the end. A clear title that earns the click beats a longer one stuffed with keywords.
Google doesn't cut titles at a fixed number of characters. It cuts them when they run out of room, and the room is measured in pixels: about 600 px for a desktop title in 20 px Arial, and roughly 920 px for a description on desktop and 680 px on mobile in 14 px Arial. A capital W is more than four times as wide as a lowercase i, so a title of 60 narrow letters can fit while 50 wide ones don't.
That's why a "50 to 60 characters" rule is only a rough guide. This tool measures the actual text with your browser's Arial, the font Google uses in results, and shows the cut where Google would make it. The numbers are approximate, because Google changes its layout and sometimes shows longer titles on mobile, but they are much closer than a character count.
A good title does three jobs: it matches what the person searched for, it promises something specific, and it stands out from the nine other results. Start with the main topic in the words people use ("sourdough bread recipe", not "fermented loaf method"), add the angle that makes your page different ("for beginners", "no-knead", "with timeline"), and end with the brand if there is room: "Sourdough Bread for Beginners: Easy 4-Ingredient Recipe | Bakewise".
Every page needs its own title. Duplicate titles across a site make it hard for Google to tell pages apart and for people to choose between them; bulk mode flags them so you can fix the worst first. Keep the brand short and consistent, and drop it from the title if it pushes the important words out of view.
The meta description isn't a ranking factor, but it is your advert on the results page. Summarise what the page gives in one or two complete sentences, include the main phrase naturally, and give a reason to click: a number, a benefit, a time saved or what is included. Around 120 to 155 characters usually shows in full on both desktop and mobile.
Google rewrites many descriptions to match the search, especially when the written one is missing, too short or doesn't answer the query. A description that clearly matches the page's main intent is the one most likely to be kept.
Switch to Many pages and paste three columns copied from a spreadsheet: URL, title and description. Exports from crawlers such as Screaming Frog or Sitebulb, or a CMS export, work as they are; the tool finds the columns by their headings, or uses the first three columns when there are none. Every page is checked for width, length, empty values and duplicate titles, and the report downloads as a CSV you can sort and share.
If a title is cut, the first 40 or so characters still show. Put the topic and the hook there.
Specific numbers ("7 ways", "in 10 minutes") and a short bracket ("[2026 guide]") often raise clicks.
Google is more likely to rewrite a title that doesn't match the page's main heading. Keep them close.
Use one pipe or dash before the brand. Long chains of separators look like clutter.
Most searches are on phones. Check the mobile view, where descriptions are shorter.
Google may show a date before the description for articles; it takes some of the space.
Up to about 600 pixels wide, which is usually 50 to 60 characters. Shorter is fine if it says everything; the meter shows how much room is left.
About 120 to 155 characters, or up to about 920 pixels on desktop and 680 on mobile. Longer descriptions are cut with "...".
Google rewrites titles that are too long, stuffed with keywords, the same on many pages, or don't match the page's content. A clear, unique title that matches the main heading is usually kept.
It is very close: the same font, sizes and colours, measured in pixels. Google sometimes adds site links, ratings, dates or images, and changes its layout over time, so treat the cut-off as a strong guide rather than a promise.
Not directly. It affects how many people click, which is why it's worth writing well.
No. The checks and previews run in your browser, on your device. Nothing you type or paste is uploaded, stored or logged.
