Google SERP Preview Tool

A SERP (Search Engine Results Page) snippet is the small block Google shows for your page in search results: a title link, the page URL, and a meta description. Those three lines are often a searcher's first impression of your site, so how they read directly affects your click-through rate. Google does not always use your <title> and meta description verbatim — it may rewrite the title or pull description text from the page body when it judges that more relevant to the query. When it does use your values, long ones get truncated with an ellipsis. In practice, titles beyond roughly 60 characters and descriptions beyond roughly 160 characters tend to be cut off on desktop. This tool helps you draft within those limits: it shows your text in a snippet-style card and counts characters live, flagging the 60 and 160 thresholds. One caveat worth knowing: Google truncates by rendered pixel width, not character count, so wide letters like W and M eat more space than i or l. The character counts here are a practical approximation, not an exact pixel measurement, and the card is a styled mock-up rather than a pixel-perfect copy of Google's live layout.
