New free tool: SERP snippet preview

Our free SERP snippet preview shows how your page will look in Google before you publish. Type a title and meta description, or fetch them from a live page, and see the result on desktop and mobile.

Measured in pixels, like Google

Google doesn't cut titles and descriptions off at a set number of characters. It cuts them by how wide they are on screen. A title full of wide letters like W and M runs out of room sooner than one full of narrow ones. The preview measures your text at Google's font sizes and shows exactly where it would be cut, so you can make sure the words that matter come first.

What you get

  • A desktop and mobile preview of the search result
  • Pixel and character counts for the title and description, against Google's limits
  • Plain-English tips: titles that are cut off or too short, a missing description, a description that just repeats the title
  • One-click fetch of a live page's current title and description

The preview runs entirely in your browser. Only the Fetch button contacts our server. It joins our other free SEO tools. No sign-up needed.
