📋 How to Use the SERP Preview Tool
- Enter a page URL and select Fetch Meta Data, or type your title and description by hand.
- Check how the title, URL and description look in the desktop and mobile previews.
- Edit the text until it fits and reads well.
🎯 When to Use It
- Writing or rewriting page titles and meta descriptions.
- Checking that a title won't be cut off in search results.
- Comparing a few versions of a description before you publish.
💡 Tips & Common Pitfalls
- Titles longer than about 60 characters and descriptions longer than about 155 are often truncated, though the real limit is by pixel width.
- Google may rewrite your title or description to better match a search, so the preview is a guide and not a guarantee.
- Put the main keyword near the start of the title, and write the description for a person, not a robot.
- Give each page its own title and description.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SERP preview?
SERP (Search Engine Results Page) preview shows how your webpage listing appears in Google search results, including title, URL, and description.
Why is title length important?
Google truncates titles longer than ~600 pixels (roughly 60 characters). Truncated titles may lose important information and appear less professional.
What's a good meta description length?
Aim for 150-160 characters. Google may truncate longer descriptions, though mobile displays can show more text than desktop.
Does Google always show my description?
No. Google may generate its own description from page content if it thinks it better matches the search query. Write good meta descriptions anyway!
