SEO Pro Tip

Why Pixel Width Matters More Than Characters

Google doesn't count characters; it measures the physical width of your text in pixels.

A "W" (wide) takes up much more space than an "i" (narrow). That's why a 50-character title full of wide letters might get cut off, while a 60-character title with narrow letters fits perfectly.

Search Intent & Readability

Informational Transactional Navigational

Ensure your title matches what the user is looking for. Use "Buy", "Price" for transactional intent, or "How to", "Guide" for informational queries.

  • check Matching the H1 tag content

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best length for a meta title? expand_more
The ideal length is about 50-60 characters. However, Google actually counts pixels (width), not characters. A safe zone is keeping your title under 580 pixels wide to ensure it doesn't get truncated (cut off with "...") on desktop screens.
Does meta description affect ranking? expand_more
Not directly. Google doesn't use meta descriptions as a direct ranking factor. However, a well-written description improves your Click-Through Rate (CTR). A higher CTR sends positive signals to Google that your page is relevant, which can indirectly boost rankings over time.
Why did Google rewrite my title? expand_more
Google rewrites titles that it deems "poor quality." Common reasons include:
  • Title is too long or truncated.
  • Keyword stuffing.
  • Title doesn't match the user's search intent or page content.
  • Missing branding (Google often appends site names automatically).
