What you need to know

Title tag is your headline in search — The blue link text is the first thing users read. Write it for humans first — include your keyword naturally and make it compelling enough to click.
60 chars desktop, 40 chars mobile — Google truncates titles beyond roughly 600px (≈60 chars on desktop, ≈40 on mobile). Front-load your keyword so it always shows even when cut short.
Meta description doesn't rank you directly — Google confirmed it's not a ranking signal — but a compelling description improves click-through rate, which is a behavioral signal Google does respond to.
Google sometimes rewrites your description — If Google thinks your description doesn't match the search query, it rewrites it using your page's body text. A keyword-relevant description reduces rewriting.

Frequently asked questions

What is a SERP snippet?⌄

A SERP snippet is the block Google shows for your page in search results — the title (blue link), URL (breadcrumb path), and meta description (gray text below).

What is the ideal title tag length?⌄

30–60 characters. Under 30 is too vague; over 60 risks truncation on desktop. For mobile safety, aim for 40–50 characters.

Can Google change my SERP snippet?⌄

Yes. Google frequently rewrites meta descriptions — and sometimes titles — when it determines your version doesn't match the search query. Write descriptions that address multiple likely intents for the page.

Does the meta description affect rankings?⌄

Not directly. But a compelling description improves click-through rate — a strong behavioral signal that Google uses to assess relevance, indirectly influencing rankings.
