Character limits are guidelines—Google may rewrite titles and descriptions based on query context.

Understanding the result
- Titles often truncate around 50–60 characters on desktop SERPs; mobile may be shorter.
- Descriptions near 150–160 characters reduce cutoff risk but are not hard limits.
- Empty or duplicate titles hurt CTR—each page needs a unique, descriptive title.
- Preview is approximate; Google may show different text from on-page content.

Aim for ~150–160 characters. Google may show longer or shorter snippets.
Title tag vs H1?
Title appears in search results and browser tab. H1 is on-page headline—they can differ but should align thematically.
Robots noindex?
noindex prevents indexing regardless of meta description quality.
Does preview guarantee Google display?
No. Search engines may rewrite snippets from page content.
