Meta Title & Description Preview
Title tags and meta descriptions shape how your pages appear in Google results. Too long and they truncate. Too short and you waste click-through potential. This free tool lets you draft copy with live character counts, preview a SERP snippet, or fetch existing tags from any public URL.
How to use this tool
- Type a draft title and description, or enter a URL to fetch live tags
- Check character counts: aim for 50 to 60 characters in the title, 150 to 160 in the description
- Review the SERP preview and refine wording for clarity and keywords
- Apply changes in your CMS or ask your developer to update metadata

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal meta title length?
Aim for 50 to 60 characters. Google may rewrite longer titles, so front-load your primary keyword and brand.
Can this tool fetch tags from any website?
It fetches publicly accessible HTTPS pages only. Private networks, localhost and blocked hosts are rejected for security.
Does fixing meta tags guarantee better rankings?
Metadata alone will not rank a weak page, but clear titles and descriptions improve click-through rates and help Google understand page intent.
