What is a SERP simulator?
A SERP simulator is a tool that shows you exactly how your web page will appear in Google search results before you publish it. You can preview your title tag, meta description, and URL to make sure nothing gets cut off and everything looks appealing to searchers.
What is the ideal meta title length for Google?
Google displays approximately 580 pixels of the title tag on desktop (roughly 50-60 characters) and about 480 pixels on mobile. Titles exceeding this limit get truncated with "...". Our tool shows both pixel width and character count so you can optimize for both.
What is the best meta description length for SEO?
Google typically shows about 920 pixels of the meta description on desktop (roughly 150-160 characters) and 680 pixels on mobile. Aim for 120-160 characters to ensure your full message is visible. Include your target keyword naturally for bold highlighting.
Why does Google change my title tag in search results?
Google may rewrite your title tag if it considers the title too long, too short, keyword-stuffed, not relevant to the page content, or if the H1 tag is a better match. Writing concise, relevant, and descriptive titles reduces the chance Google will rewrite them.
Do meta descriptions affect SEO rankings?
Meta descriptions are not a direct ranking factor in Google's algorithm. However, a well-written meta description improves click-through rate (CTR), which can indirectly affect rankings. Google also bolds matching keywords in descriptions, making them more eye-catching.
What are rich snippets in Google search results?
Rich snippets are enhanced search results that show additional information like star ratings, review counts, dates, prices, or FAQ dropdowns. They are generated from structured data (Schema.org markup) on your web page and can significantly increase click-through rates.
How do I check if my title tag is too long?
Use our SERP simulator to enter your title and check both the pixel width (Google measures in pixels, not characters) and character count. The tool shows a color-coded indicator: green for optimal, yellow for borderline, and red for too long. You'll see exactly where Google would truncate it.
