Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum title tag length for Google?

Google typically displays title tags up to approximately 580 pixels wide (roughly 60 characters in a standard font). Titles exceeding this are truncated with an ellipsis. The tool counts characters and estimates pixel width.

What happens if my meta description is too long?

Google truncates meta descriptions that exceed approximately 155–160 characters, cutting off the text mid-sentence with '...' — potentially hiding your most compelling CTA or key information.

Should my title tag and page H1 be identical?

They don't need to be identical, and having slight variation can be beneficial — the title tag is optimized for search result clicks while the H1 can be tailored for the on-page reading experience.
