Example Domain - Your Title Goes Here

This is an example of a meta description. This will often show up in search results. Write something compelling that encourages users to click.

Google often rewrites titles and meta descriptions based on the search query. This is an approximation of the default rendering.

What is a SERP?

SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page. It's the page you see after entering a query into Google, Yahoo, or any other search engine. Optimizing how your site looks on this page is critical for improving your Click-Through Rate (CTR).

Character Limits

  • Title Tags: Keep them under ~60 characters. Google actually measures titles in pixels (around 600px max on desktop). If it's too long, it will be truncated with an ellipsis (...).
  • Meta Descriptions: Keep them under ~160 characters for desktop and ~120 characters for mobile. A good description should act like ad copy, giving searchers a reason to click your link.

Why does Google sometimes ignore my tags?

Google uses your title and meta description tags as suggestions. If Google's algorithm decides that a different snippet of text from your page better answers the user's specific search query, they will automatically rewrite your title or description in the actual search results.
