SERP preview FAQ

How does Google decide what to show in search results?

Google uses your title tag for the blue link and your meta description for the snippet below it. If your title is too long (over ~60 characters), Google truncates it with '...'. If your meta description is missing or too long, Google may auto-generate one from your page content.

What is the maximum title length for Google?

Google displays up to ~580 pixels (roughly 60 characters) of your title tag. Titles longer than this get truncated with an ellipsis. Put your most important keyword and messaging within the first 50-55 characters.

What is the maximum meta description length?

Google displays up to ~920 pixels (roughly 155-160 characters) on desktop and ~680 pixels (~120 characters) on mobile. Write descriptions between 120-155 characters to display fully on both devices.

Does mobile search show different results than desktop?

The same results appear, but Google truncates titles and descriptions shorter on mobile. Titles cut at ~55 characters and descriptions at ~120 characters. Always check the mobile preview to ensure your key message isn't cut off.

Can I control what Google shows as my favicon?

Yes — add a favicon to your site's root or specify it with a <link rel='icon'> tag. Google shows favicons next to your URL in search results. A clear, recognizable favicon increases brand trust and CTR.
