In Yoast, Rank Math or a similar plugin, use the SEO title and meta description fields on each page or post.
Check how your page title, URL and meta description may look in Google search results, on desktop and mobile. Spot truncation before you publish, then copy the meta tags. Free, no sign-up, and nothing leaves your browser.
A SERP preview tool shows how a page’s title, URL and meta description may appear on a search engine results page. You see the snippet before you publish, so you can fix a title that gets cut off or a description that runs too long.
The snippet is often the only thing a searcher sees before they decide to click. A clear title and a useful description can lift your click-through rate, even when your ranking does not change.
The preview is an estimate. Google measures titles in pixels, not characters, and it may rewrite your title or description to match the search. Use it as a guide, then check the live result in Search Console.

Google sets no fixed character limit. These are the working limits the preview uses, and what each part of the snippet does.
| Snippet part | Working limit | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Title | About 580 px desktop, 520 px mobile | Roughly 50 to 60 characters. Wide letters such as M and W use more space, so pixels matter more than characters. |
| Meta description | About 160 characters desktop, 150 mobile | Lead with the benefit. Anything past the limit is cut off with an ellipsis. |
| URL breadcrumb | Shown as a path | Google shows your domain and path with arrows. Short, readable URLs look cleaner. |
| Date | Optional | Shown before the description for dated content such as news and blog posts. |
| Rich snippet | Needs structured data | Ratings, price and availability can appear when your markup qualifies. Google decides whether to show them. |
Both shape the snippet, but they do different jobs. Write each one on purpose.
The headline of your result
The pitch under the headline
The tool does the measuring. These four steps take you from a draft to tags ready for your page.
Add your title, description and page URL.
Switch between desktop and mobile to spot cut-off text.
Shorten or reword until the title and description show as OK.
Copy the meta tags into your page head or your SEO plugin.
Write for the searcher first and the limit second. A title that fits but says nothing will lose clicks to a clear one that is slightly shorter.
Most platforms have a field for each. Only edit the head by hand if yours does not.
In Yoast, Rank Math or a similar plugin, use the SEO title and meta description fields on each page or post.
Open the page, product or collection and edit the search engine listing. Store-wide defaults are in your online store preferences.
Open the page’s SEO settings and fill in the title tag and meta description under the basic SEO options.
Paste the generated tags inside the <head> of the page, replacing any existing title and description.
Short answers on limits, rewrites and rich snippets.
It shows how your title, URL and meta description may look in Google results before you publish. That lets you fix truncation, tighten the wording and write a snippet that earns more clicks.
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser, so the text you enter is never uploaded to a server.
Aim for roughly 50 to 60 characters. Google truncates titles by pixel width, about 580 pixels on desktop, so wide letters can cause a cut-off sooner. The preview estimates this as you type.
Aim for roughly 150 to 160 characters, a little less for mobile. Longer descriptions are cut off with an ellipsis, so put the most important part first.
Google may rewrite either one when it thinks another version better matches the search, or when yours is missing, too long or repeated across pages. Clear, specific, unique tags are rewritten less often.
No. Google has said the meta description is not a ranking factor. It still matters, because a good description can raise your click-through rate.
No. It is an estimate based on typical desktop and mobile limits. Google can change the layout, rewrite the text and highlight different words for each search.
No. Ratings, price and availability appear only when your page has valid structured data that meets Google’s guidelines, and Google chooses whether to show them. FAQ rich results are now limited to a small set of authoritative sites.
Usually yes, at the end after a separator, as long as it fits. Put the main keyword first so it is not cut off, and drop the brand if space is tight.
A strong snippet earns the click. Structured data and a clean sitemap help search engines understand and find the page.
