About This Calculator
This SERP preview tool reconstructs how your page would appear in Google’s search results: title, URL, and meta description.
It also validates best practices: titles display up to roughly 60 characters and 580 pixels before truncation, while meta descriptions should run about 70–160 characters. The preview strips the protocol and path from your URL to show the short breadcrumb Google uses.
Everything is computed locally in your browser.
Worked Examples
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Google title limits fixed at 60 characters?
No — Google measures by pixel width, and the limit varies with the font and character widths. 60 characters / 580 pixels is a reliable planning target, not a hard cap.
Will my description always display?
Not guaranteed — Google may replace your meta description with a dynamic snippet. A well-written 70–160 character description still gives your listing the best chance.
