Frequently Asked Questions
Why is SERP preview important?
Previewing your snippet ensures your title and description fit within Google's pixel limits, preventing truncation and improving your Click-Through Rate (CTR).
How long should my title tag be?
Google typically truncates title tags at around 600 pixels on desktop, which usually equates to about 50-60 characters.
How long should my meta description be?
Aim for about 150 to 155 characters. The counter in this tool turns red past that point, which is roughly where Google starts cutting descriptions off on desktop, and mobile can truncate earlier still.
Does this preview show exactly what Google will display?
It is a close approximation, not a guarantee. Google frequently rewrites titles and descriptions using page content or the user's query, and this tool measures character counts rather than the exact pixel widths Google renders.
Can I preview a page that is not published yet?
Yes. Nothing is crawled or fetched from your site - you type the title, description and URL yourself, so you can test drafts before the page ever goes live.
Why does the favicon in the preview look wrong?
The preview pulls the icon from Google's public favicon service for whatever domain you entered. A brand new site, a typo in the URL, or a domain Google has not indexed will fall back to a generic icon.
Is the SERP preview tool free?
Yes, it is free with no sign-up and no limit on how many snippets you preview.
