What Google really looks at

Google publishes no length to stick to. Here's what Google says itself, and what the people who watch it have measured.

Our advice

A title and a description unique to each page: the same text everywhere helps no one.
Important words first: if Google cuts, the end is what disappears.
Words that describe the page, without repeating the same terms.
A description that makes people want to click, not a list of keywords.
Google builds the snippet from the page content first: your description is a suggestion, not a guarantee.

Questions

Your questions about the preview

Why does Google cut my title?

Google sets no length limit: it cuts the title to fit the screen width. On desktop, measurements put the cutoff around 600 pixels, about 60 characters. A “W” takes more room than an “i”: two titles of the same length aren't cut at the same spot.

Will Google show exactly this text?

Not always. Google sometimes rewrites the title or picks another excerpt of the page as the description, especially when they're too short, too long or far from the search. A good title and a good description lower that risk.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The tool runs in your browser: your text and your image never leave your screen. Nothing is saved.

Which image should I use for social media?

An image of at least 1200 × 627 pixels, in the 1.91:1 ratio and under 5 MB, declared in the page's og:image tag: that's what LinkedIn asks for. Under 401 pixels wide, LinkedIn only shows a thumbnail.
