SEO Tool
Check your meta title and description pixel lengths to make sure they display perfectly in Google search results.
Whether you're auditing your first site or scaling a content program that's plateaued, The Influence Agency builds the SEO strategy your brand needs to grow and executes it. Let's get to work.
According to Google's best practices, the recommended meta description length is between 140 to 160 characters. Google typically displays up to 160 characters on desktop and around 120 characters on mobile before truncating.
Pixel width is a more accurate measure than character count alone. Google measures how much horizontal space a snippet uses, not how many characters it contains. A title built from wide characters (W, M, A) will be cut shorter than one built from narrow characters (i, l, t), even at the same character count.
Meta descriptions below the recommended pixel width are often rewritten by Google because they don't give Google's algorithm enough content to match against varied search queries. Above the recommended pixel width, the description gets cut mid-sentence, which hurts click-through rate.
As per Google's best practices, the recommended meta title length is between 50 to 60 characters. Google's desktop title display area is approximately 600 pixels wide. Beyond that, your title is truncated with an ellipsis.
On mobile, that limit drops to around 55 characters or 480 pixels. If your site drives significant mobile traffic, use this checker's mobile preview to verify nothing critical gets cut.
