SERP Simulator — Google Snippet Preview
Preview how your title and description appear in Google search results.
A live preview of how your page may appear in Google results. Titles over ~60 characters and descriptions over ~160 get cut off with an ellipsis — the counters warn you. Google may still rewrite titles/snippets, so treat this as a guide. Runs in your browser.
See how your page is likely to appear in Google's search results before you publish. Type your title tag, URL and meta description and the preview updates live, with character counts and warnings when a title (~60 chars) or description (~160 chars) will be cut off with an ellipsis. Google may rewrite snippets, so treat it as a guide. Runs in your browser.
How to use the SERP Simulator
- Enter your title tag, page URL and meta description.
- Watch the live Google-style preview and character counts.
- Trim anything flagged as too long to avoid truncation.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag and meta description be?
Aim for roughly 60 characters for the title and 160 for the description so they aren't truncated. Google actually measures pixel width, so very wide characters can be cut sooner.
Why might Google show a different title?
Google sometimes rewrites titles and snippets using page content or the query. A clear, accurate title that matches the page reduces the chance of a rewrite.
