Google SERP Preview
See exactly how your page title, meta description, and URL will appear in a Google search results page before you publish. The preview renders a pixel-accurate Google snippet — the blue title link, the green URL breadcrumb, and the gray description text — so you can judge readability and click appeal at a glance.
Character counters track the length of your title (recommended limit: 60 characters) and meta description (recommended limit: 160 characters) with color-coded warnings as you approach or exceed the limits. Google truncates titles and descriptions that are too long, replacing the end with an ellipsis, and this preview simulates that truncation so you can see what searchers will actually read.
Useful for SEO specialists, content writers, and anyone publishing web pages who wants to optimize their search snippets before going live. Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
What's the ideal title length for Google?▼
Google typically displays up to about 60 characters (or ~600 pixels wide) of a page title. Titles longer than that are truncated with an ellipsis. Keep your most important keywords and your value proposition within the first 60 characters to ensure they're visible in search results.
What's the ideal meta description length?▼
Google typically shows up to about 155-160 characters of a meta description. Longer descriptions are truncated. Write a compelling summary of the page within this limit — include your target keyword and a clear reason to click. Google sometimes rewrites descriptions from page content if it thinks its version better matches the query.
Does Google always use my meta description?▼
No — Google often generates its own snippet from page content if it thinks a different passage better answers the searcher's query. Writing a clear, relevant meta description increases the chance Google uses yours, but it's not guaranteed. This preview shows what your snippet looks like when Google does use your provided description.
