- Whether the title falls inside the length Google will show
- Whether the meta description is long enough to say anything, and short enough to survive
- A rendered preview of the result, truncated the way Google truncates it
- A pass or fail on each, with the guide lengths shown
Why it matters
Your title and description are the advert for every page you own, and they are the only part of your site most searchers ever read. Ranking first is worth much less if the result reads as a truncated fragment or as a sentence Google wrote for you out of whatever it could find. This is also the cheapest fix in SEO: it is a text change, it needs no developer, and it takes effect on the next crawl.
How to read the result
Length is a guide, not a rule. Google measures pixels rather than characters, and it rewrites descriptions whenever it thinks another sentence answers the query better, so treat a pass as room to work in rather than a guarantee. The preview matters more than the numbers: read it as a stranger and ask whether it says what the page is and why you would click it.
Common questions
Does the meta description affect rankings?
Not directly. Google has said for years that it is not a ranking factor. It affects whether people click, and click behaviour on a result you already rank for is worth more than most on-page tweaks.
Why does Google show something different from what I wrote?
Google rewrites descriptions for a large share of results, usually when it finds text on the page that matches the query more closely. A good description reduces how often that happens; nothing prevents it.
What should a local business put in the title?
What you do and where, in that order, with the brand last. Someone searching is looking for the service, not for you. Leading with the business name spends the visible half of the title on the one word they were not searching for.
