Check the length of a page title and meta description while editing your search metadata. This tool reports character counts, estimated text width, and missing fields, with review prompts for wording that exceeds common editing guidelines.

How to Use SEO Title & Description Checker

  1. Paste your current or proposed page title.
  2. Paste its meta description, or leave a field empty to identify missing copy.
  3. Review the counts, width estimates, and clarity of the wording.
  4. Compare the edited text in Google Search Preview before updating your website.

Compare title and description drafts

Character counts are useful when comparing two versions of the same message. Estimated width adds another view because characters occupy different amounts of space: a line of narrow letters can be shorter on screen than an equally long line of wide letters. The checker uses an illustrative preview font, so its measurements are approximate.

What to do with the result

Start by fixing empty fields. Next, read the wording as a visitor would: can they identify the page topic, and does the description explain what they will find? If a long title buries the main subject at the end, move the important information earlier and remove repetition. Do not shorten a clear sentence merely to hit an arbitrary number.

Check the layout as well as the count

The tool checks supplied text, not your live HTML. Use Google Search Preview to compare desktop and mobile snippets. Use the On-Page SEO Checker to confirm the tags your website actually returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What title and description lengths should I target?
The tool shows common 50–60 and 150–160 character editing guidelines. Treat them as guidance, not strict limits or ranking rules.
Why does estimated width matter?
Different characters have different display widths. Width estimates can help compare drafts that have similar character counts.
Does it check the metadata on my website?
No. It checks the text you paste. The On-Page SEO Checker can inspect a public page URL.
