Optimizing Google Meta Titles & Descriptions
Keep SEO page titles between 50–60 characters and meta descriptions between 140–155 characters so Google SERPs never truncate your call-to-action with an ellipsis.
Character Counter

Whether you are crafting Google SEO meta titles and descriptions, keeping SMS campaigns within 160-character segments, or fitting strict academic and job-portal form limits, this tool shows characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time simultaneously.
