Preview
This is how Google shows your result, or something similar. Google may also rewrite the title and description itself if they do not match the search query.

Guide
How it works
- Enter your data
Enter the title, description and address of your page – or start with “Example”. The preview updates with every keystroke.
- Check the length
The bars show the width in pixels. If they turn orange, Google truncates at this point with “…” – the preview shows exactly where.
- Test the search term
Enter the term the page should be found for. Google highlights it in bold in the description – so you can see whether it stands out.
- Compare desktop and mobile
On mobile there is more room for the title, but less for the description. With “Dark” you see the effect in dark mode.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is it measured in pixels and not characters?
Google truncates according to the actual width: a “W” is much wider than an “i”. A title with many narrow letters can therefore have more characters. As a guideline, about 580 pixels apply to the title and 990 pixels to the description on desktop.
How long should the meta description be?
Long enough to sum up the page’s content in two lines – usually 120 to 155 characters. Put the important part at the beginning in case Google truncates after all.
Why does Google sometimes show a different title or text?
Google rewrites titles and descriptions if they are too long, do not match the search query or are the same on many pages. A fitting, unique text per page makes it more likely that yours appears.
How do I get stars in the search results?
With structured data according to schema.org, e.g. for products, recipes or books with real reviews. However, Google decides itself whether the stars are shown – there is no guarantee.
Does the preview help with ranking?
Not directly. But the title and description help decide whether someone clicks. A complete, clear title with the search term and a description that sparks curiosity get more out of the same ranking.
