SERP snippet preview
Type a title and description and see where results would cut them off. Measured in pixels in your browser, because Google shortens by width, not by characters.

Google shortens by pixel width and publishes no fixed limit, so these widths are estimates. It may also rewrite the title or description entirely when it thinks another part of the page fits the search better.
How to use the SERP snippet preview
Three steps. No account, and it works on any public page.
- 1
Type a title and description
Or paste what the page has now.
- 2
See it cut where Google cuts
Measured in pixels in your browser, on desktop and mobile.
- 3
Move the important words forward
Whatever sits after the cut is never read.
What the results mean
Fits
The full text shows at that width.
Cut off
The text is wider than the space results give it, so it ends in an ellipsis. The preview shows exactly where.
Why the snippet matters
The title and description are an advert for the page, written by you and shown next to competitors. A better snippet can win the click from a higher position.
Google shortens by width, not by character count: a title full of wide letters is cut sooner than one of narrow ones. The widths here are close estimates of Google's layout, about 600 pixels for a desktop title.
Questions
Will Google use my title and description?
Often, not always. Google rewrites titles and descriptions when it thinks another line on the page answers the search better.
Is anything I type sent anywhere?
No. The measuring happens in your browser.
This is one check. AEOptimiz runs all of them, every night.
Connect Search Console and it asks Google which of your pages are indexed, why the rest are not, and which fixes are worth the most clicks. Then it checks whether AI assistants cite you.
