Meta Title Checker FAQ

What length should a title tag be?

Roughly 30-60 characters. Google truncates on pixel width, so the practical limit depends on the characters themselves — capitals and wide letters eat the budget faster.

Should the brand name go in the title?

Usually at the end, and only if there is room. On a page competing for a specific query, the words somebody searched for matter more than your brand — unless the brand is the reason they would click.

Why does Google show a different title than mine?

Google rewrites titles when the tag is keyword-stuffed, duplicated across pages, or does not describe the page. A rewritten title is feedback on the tag you wrote.

Is the title tag the same as the H1?

No. The title tag is what search results and the browser tab show; the H1 is the heading on the page. They often say similar things, and there is no requirement that they match.
