Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal meta title length for Google?
Google typically displays page titles up to about 60 characters. Titles longer than 60 characters are often truncated with an ellipsis. Keep your title between 50 and 60 characters, frontload your primary keyword, and make it compelling. Shorter titles may leave valuable display space unused, while longer ones risk losing important words in the truncation.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Google displays meta descriptions up to approximately 160 characters on desktop and around 120 characters on mobile. Descriptions that exceed these limits are cut off. The ideal length is 140–160 characters — descriptive enough to inform users, short enough to avoid truncation. Always write descriptions as a complete sentence with a natural call to action, as this improves click-through rates from search results.
Why is my meta description not showing in Google?
Google frequently ignores the meta description tag and auto-generates a snippet from the page content it considers most relevant to the query being searched. This happens most often when your meta description does not contain the user's search keywords, is too short or generic, or when the page body contains a more relevant passage. To improve the chances of your meta description being used, write it specifically around your primary keyword, match user intent closely, and ensure it accurately summarises the page content.
