💡 Title Tag Tips
Optimal Length
- Keep titles between 50–60 characters for full display on Google.
- Put primary keywords near the beginning of the title.
- Use pipes (|) or dashes (—) to separate brand from page topic.
- Make each page title unique across your site.
📖 Meta Description Tips
Best Practices
- Aim for 150–160 characters to avoid truncation.
- Include a clear call-to-action or value proposition.
- Incorporate target keywords naturally — they get bolded in results.
- Don't duplicate descriptions across pages.
🎯 CTR Optimization
Improve Click-Through Rate
- Use numbers and dates in titles (e.g., "10 Tips for 2026").
- Add emotional triggers: "Ultimate", "Free", "Step-by-Step".
- Match search intent — informational vs transactional.
- Test different title formats and monitor CTR in Search Console.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal title tag length?▾
Google typically displays the first 50–60 characters of a title tag. Titles longer than ~60 characters may be truncated with an ellipsis. Pixel width matters more than character count — wider characters like "W" take more space than "i".
What is the ideal meta description length?▾
Google typically shows up to 155–160 characters for desktop and 120 characters for mobile. However, Google may choose to display a different snippet from your page content if it better matches the search query.
Does Google always use my meta description?▾
No. Google may generate its own snippet from your page content if it determines a different excerpt better answers the user's query. However, well-written meta descriptions are used most of the time and influence click-through rates.
