Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a meta title be?
Aim for about 50 to 60 characters. Google actually cuts titles by width, about 600 pixels, so the exact number of characters can vary.
Why pixels and not characters?
Wide letters such as W and M take more space than narrow letters such as i and l. Google cuts a title when it is too wide, not when it has too many characters.
Does the meta title affect rankings?
Yes. The title tag is one of the strongest on-page signals, and it also decides how many people click your result.
Why does Google change my title?
Google may rewrite titles that are too long, stuffed with keywords or not matching the page. A clear, honest title is rarely changed.
Should I add my brand name?
If there is room, a short brand name at the end after a separator is fine. Do not let it push the main keyword out.
Is the pixel width exact?
It is a close estimate based on Arial 20px, which Google uses for desktop titles. Real results can differ slightly.
