A SERP preview tool shows a live mockup of how your page will appear in Google search results. Type your title tag, meta description and URL, and see them rendered exactly as Google displays them — with character counts and truncation warnings. It helps you optimise your snippet to attract more clicks. All processing is done in your browser.
How to use SERP Preview Tool
- Enter your page title tag (55–60 chars recommended).
- Enter your meta description (150–160 chars recommended).
- Optionally enter the URL. Read the preview and adjust until it looks right.
Frequently asked questions
How long should my title be?
Google typically displays the first 55–60 characters. Longer titles are truncated with an ellipsis. The counter turns amber when you're near the limit.
How long should my meta description be?
Around 150–160 characters is the sweet spot. Much longer and Google may truncate it.
Is this data sent anywhere?
No — everything runs in your browser. Your titles and descriptions are never uploaded.
