SERP Preview Tool
Preview your Google search snippet exactly as users will see it — with live character counters and length tips.
Your search snippet is your page's advertisement on Google — the blue title, green URL and description decide whether anyone clicks. Type your title, URL and meta description here and watch a pixel-faithful preview update as you type. Live counters warn you the moment your title passes 60 characters or your description passes 160, so nothing gets cut off.
How to use the SERP Preview Tool
- Type your SEO title into the first field and watch the character counter stay near the 60-character sweet spot.
- Add your page URL and write your meta description, keeping an eye on the 160-character counter.
- Review the live Google-style preview and follow the tips if your title or description runs too long.
SERP Preview Tool — FAQs
Why does Google cut off long titles?
Google limits the visible title to about 600 pixels wide, which works out to roughly 60 characters depending on letter widths. Anything longer gets replaced with an ellipsis, hiding your most persuasive words. This tool's counter warns you before you cross that line so your full message always shows.
How long should a meta description be?
Aim for 150 to 160 characters. Google may show up to about 160 characters of your description in the snippet, and longer text gets truncated mid-sentence. A tight, benefit-led description in that range reads cleanly on both desktop and mobile search results.
Does this preview guarantee how Google shows my page?
No — Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions to better match a searcher's query, so the live result can differ. But an optimized, well-sized title and description is what Google starts from, and pages with good snippets get rewritten far less often than pages with weak ones.
Is anything I type here stored or sent anywhere?
Nothing. The preview renders entirely in your browser as you type. Your titles, URLs and descriptions are never uploaded to a server, never saved, and never shared — the tool works even with your internet disconnected.
