How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter your SEO page title — Type or paste the title tag you want to test. Watch the character counter and colour-coded status bar update in real time.

  3. Write your meta description — Enter your meta description and see it truncated at the correct desktop (160 chars) and mobile (120 chars) limits automatically.
  4. Add a highlight keyword — (Optional) Type your target keyword to see it bolded in the preview, just as Google bolds query-matching terms in real results.

Frequently Asked Questions

A SERP preview tool shows you exactly how your webpage will look in Google search results before you publish it. It displays your SEO title, meta description, and URL as Google would render them, helping you optimise each element for maximum click-through rates.
Google typically displays the first 50–60 characters of a title tag. Titles longer than about 580 pixels (roughly 60 characters) get truncated with an ellipsis (…). Aim for 50–60 characters to ensure your full title always shows. Include your primary keyword near the beginning for maximum visibility.
Google usually truncates meta descriptions at around 155–160 characters on desktop. For mobile, snippets can be shorter — around 120 characters. Keep your meta description between 120–160 characters, front-loading the most important information and including a clear call to action to improve CTR.
Meta descriptions are not a direct Google ranking factor. However, they significantly impact click-through rates (CTR). A compelling meta description attracts more clicks, which can indirectly signal relevance to Google. Always write meta descriptions primarily for users — make them informative, enticing, and accurate to your page content.
