Title length checker

Check a title or a public page

1. Choose Paste and enter your proposed title. You can add a meta description: the short summary your website supplies for search results.
2. Alternatively, choose URL to fetch the title and description from a published page.
3. Review the desktop and mobile previews. Put the most useful information where readers can quickly understand it.
4. If you use an optional focus keyword, choose wording that accurately matches the page. Treat any rewrite suggestions as drafts to check.

A preview is a guide, not a promise. Letter widths vary, so character count alone cannot show how much space a title takes. Search results can look different, and Google may generate a different title or description. The tool’s score is not a Google rating or a guarantee of rankings.

This embedded tool is provided by Keywords Everywhere. Loading it connects your browser to their service. Use public URLs and wording you have permission to share; leave out confidential drafts and private access links. Optional page fetches, keyword lookups, comparisons and AI rewrites may use provider services and separate allowances.

If the tool does not load, open the Title Length Checker directly (new tab).

What should you look for?

• Meaning first. Could someone understand what this specific page offers? A shorter but vague title is not necessarily better.
• Preview width. Wide letters take more room than narrow ones. The pixel ruler helps you compare drafts, but its colour bands are the provider’s guidelines.
• Accurate wording. Keep your location, service and brand where they help readers. Do not add “best”, guarantees or other claims just to gain score points.
• A useful description. Summarise the page honestly rather than repeating a list of keywords. Keep essential information on the page itself too.

There is no need to chase a perfect score or force every page into the same character count. A clear, distinctive title is a better editing goal.

Try one small improvement

For a garden maintenance page, Garden maintenance in Lanzarote | Your business name could be a useful starting draft, if it accurately describes the service and location. Replace the business-name placeholder and compare it with your current title.

1. Save the current title before making changes.
2. Draft a clearer version and check both previews.
3. Read it alongside the actual page to confirm it matches.
4. Update the title in your own website editor when you are happy with it. Changes in this checker do not update your website.
