Frequently asked questions

How long should my title and description be?

Keep titles under about 60 characters and descriptions under about 160 characters to avoid truncation.

What happens if my text is too long?

Google truncates the text with an ellipsis, which can hide your key message or call to action.

Does a good snippet improve rankings?

It does not directly affect rankings, but a clear, compelling snippet can improve click-through rate from search results.

Does the preview match mobile search results?

This preview approximates desktop results; mobile may wrap text differently and show slightly less content.
