Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about character limits and how the tool works.

The recommended meta description length is 120–155 characters for desktop and 120–130 characters for mobile. Google measures descriptions in pixels rather than characters, but 155 characters is a safe practical limit for most text.
Meta descriptions are not a direct Google ranking factor. However, a compelling meta description significantly improves your click-through rate from search results — and higher CTR can indirectly improve rankings over time.
Title tags should be 50–60 characters for best results. Google displays titles up to approximately 600 pixels wide, which equates to roughly 60 characters in a standard font. Titles beyond this length get truncated with an ellipsis.
Google rewrites meta descriptions for approximately 70% of pages — usually when the description doesn't closely match the search query. Writing descriptions that include your exact target keywords reduces the chance of Google overriding your copy.
Open Graph (OG) tags control how your page appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp. The og:description tag is separate from your HTML meta description — you can set different copy for each.
