Free Meta Title & Description Checker

Type your title and description, see how long they are, and preview how the result may look in Google. It runs in your browser and nothing is saved.

How to use the checker

1

Type your page title. Add your brand name if it is part of the title, so the length includes it.

2

Paste the meta description and the page URL to see a search result preview.

3

Watch the counters. Green means the length is in a sensible range, orange means short, red means it may be cut off.

What makes a good title and description

The lengths here are a guide, not a rule. Google cuts results by pixel width, not by character count, so a title with wide letters can be shortened earlier than 60 characters. Google may also rewrite a title or description if it thinks another version matches the search better.

Write for the person searching. Lead with the service and the place, say what is different about the page, and avoid stuffing keywords. For Arabic pages the character count is only a rough indicator because letters have different widths, so read the preview carefully. If you want a specialist to review your titles across the whole site, see our SEO services, our Arabic SEO work, or the Arabic SEO guide. Bigger structural problems are covered by technical SEO.

Questions about meta titles and descriptions

There is no official number. Around 50 to 60 characters usually fits on desktop, but Google measures width in pixels, so test with the preview and keep the most important words first.
Google has said it is not a direct ranking factor. It can still change how many people click your result, so it is worth writing well.
Google sometimes builds its own title from the page heading or other signals when the tag is too long, empty, repetitive or does not match the content. Clear, specific titles are rewritten less often.
Yes, it counts characters and shows the preview in the correct text direction. Pixel widths differ for Arabic, so use the count as a rough guide only.
