Frequently asked questions

How long should a meta title be?

Between 30 and 60 characters so it is not truncated in Google results.

Does the meta description affect ranking?

Not directly, but a good one improves click-through rate.

Does Google always use my meta description?

No. Google may rewrite it to match the search, but a good description is still often used.

How long can a meta title be?

Keep it under about 60 characters or 600 pixels so it is not cut off.
