What does the free SERP Snippet Preview analyze?
-
1
Title width
Measured in pixels, the way Google cuts titles — about 600 px on desktop.
-
2
Description width
Measured in pixels too; the end of a long description is usually cut.
-
3
A missing title
Without one, Google makes a title up from the page.
-
4
A missing description
Without one, Google picks text from the page for the snippet.
-
5
Live page or your text
Check a published URL, or type a title and description before you publish.
-
6
What you control
Google may still rewrite both — the preview shows what your tags ask for.
How to write a snippet people click
-
1
Main topic first
Put the words people search for at the start of the title.
-
2
Stay under the width
About 600 px for the title — often 50–60 characters.
-
3
Say what they get
A description of one or two sentences that answers why click.
-
4
One title per page
Every page different, so Google doesn’t pick one for you. Meta Tag Checker →
-
5
Check the live page
After publishing, run the URL to confirm the tags are there. SEO Checker →
How to interpret your results
- ISSUE
- A clear fault that usually deserves a fix, e.g. a missing title or a non-200 status.
- WARNING
- May be a problem depending on the page, e.g. a missing description or canonical, or a long title.
- PASS
- Checked and looks fine.
- NOT CHECKED
- Not part of this check, or blocked by the site. The report says which — it is never counted as a fault.

Frequently asked questions
About the SERP Snippet Preview.
01
Why pixels and not characters?
Google cuts titles and descriptions by their displayed width, so wide letters run out sooner than narrow ones.
02
Will Google show exactly this?
Not always — Google may rewrite titles and descriptions. The preview shows what you control.
03
Can I test text before publishing?
Yes. Type a title and description instead of a URL and see how they fit.
04
Does a longer title rank better?
No. Length doesn’t help ranking; a clear, specific title helps people choose your result.
05
Is mobile different?
Mobile results can show a little more or less. The desktop width is the safer limit.
06
Is it free?
Yes. No account is needed. We limit how often one visitor can run checks so the tools stay fast for everyone.
