Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Google truncate by pixels instead of characters?

Letters have different widths — an "i" is much narrower than a "W". Google fits titles and descriptions into a fixed pixel container, so a 60-character title with wide letters can be truncated while a 65-character title with narrow letters fits.

What is the maximum pixel width for a Google title and description?

Desktop titles wrap around 600 pixels (Arial 20px). Desktop descriptions wrap around 990 pixels across two lines (Arial 14px). Mobile is much tighter — about 360 pixels for both.

Will Google always use my title tag?

No. Google rewrites about 60% of title tags based on query relevance, page content, and headings. Writing a clean, query-aligned title that fits the pixel limit reduces the chance of a rewrite.

Does the meta description affect rankings?

Not directly. Meta descriptions don't influence rank, but they strongly affect click-through rate, which is a behavioral signal. A snippet that gets clicks more often than competitors can indirectly help ranking over time.
