Use this free Google Search Preview tool to review a page title, meta description, and URL before publishing. Switch between desktop and mobile layouts, watch the character counts, and compare estimated text width while you edit your snippet.
How to Use Google Search Preview
- Enter the page URL you want to display in the preview.
- Type a page title and a description that match the page content.
- Switch between desktop and mobile, then review the character counts and estimated width.
- Download the metadata and apply the reviewed wording to your website.
Preview your search snippet before publishing
A title should make the page topic clear, while the description should help a visitor decide whether the page answers their question. This SERP preview gives you a place to compare wording without changing your website. The URL is used for display only; the tool does not fetch a live page.
Example: write for a specific visitor
For a beginner gardening guide, a title such as Small Garden Guide: Plants, Soil and Watering is more informative than Welcome to Our Website. Use the description to explain the practical steps the guide covers. Review the mobile preview to see whether the main idea remains visible when space is limited.
Interpret length estimates carefully
The character counts and estimated widths help you compare drafts. They are not fixed display limits. Google can choose different title or snippet text, and the search layout can vary. Read Google guidance on snippets for context.
When your wording is ready, use the Meta Tag Generator to prepare tags. To inspect what a public page currently returns, use the On-Page SEO Checker.
