Titles: 50–60 characters is the sweet spot — long enough to be specific, short enough to display in full. Under 30 characters is usually too vague; over 60 gets cut off with an ellipsis. Descriptions: 120–158 characters is ideal — enough to sell the click, short enough to survive on desktop and mobile. Under 120 is often too thin; over 160 gets truncated.
Length does not rank your page — Google has said descriptions are not a ranking factor, and titles rank on their words, not their length. What length controls is the click: a cut-off title hides your best words, and a cut-off description hides your call to action. Check the lengths with this tool, then check how the whole listing reads with our SERP preview tool — the two checks together catch most listing mistakes before a page goes live.
