About this tool
Aim for a title of about 50 to 60 characters (under roughly 580 pixels) and a description of 120 to 158 characters (under roughly 990 pixels). The checker flags anything likely to be cut off, too short to be useful, or missing your focus keyword.
How to use it
- Paste your meta title and meta description.
- Add the focus keyword you want the page to rank for.
- Fix anything marked with a warning until the score is green, then copy the tags.
Questions
What is the ideal meta title length?
About 50 to 60 characters, which usually fits within Google's roughly 580-pixel title width on desktop. Put the most important words first in case it is cut.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Around 120 to 158 characters for desktop. Mobile results can show slightly more lines, but the first 120 characters should carry the message.
Should my keyword be in the title?
Yes, ideally near the start and written naturally. Google bolds words that match the search, which helps your result stand out.
