💡 Snippet Writing Best Practices:
- Put your primary keyword near the start of the title
- Write a unique title and description for every page, never duplicate
- Use the description to include a clear benefit or call to action
- Avoid keyword stuffing, write for humans first
- Match the title and description to what the page actually delivers
- Keep your brand name at the end of the title, not the start
- Remember Google sometimes rewrites snippets automatically, this tool shows your intended version
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does Google always use the title and description I write?
No. Google frequently rewrites titles and descriptions based on the search query and page content. This tool shows the snippet you're targeting, not a guarantee of what will always display.
Why does character count differ from pixel width?
Google truncates based on pixel width, not character count, since letters like "i" and "w" take up different space. Character limits are a reliable estimate, but this tool's live preview reflects actual rendering more closely.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. Everything runs in your browser, your content is never uploaded or stored.
