Frequently asked questions
Why 30 to 60 characters?
Titles under about 30 characters often waste ranking opportunity, while those over about 60 tend to be truncated in Google's desktop results. The range is a practical rule of thumb, not an official limit.
Does Google measure characters or pixels?
Pixels: roughly 600px on desktop. This tool counts characters, which approximates the limit well for typical text, but wide characters (W, M, capitals) can truncate sooner than narrow ones.
Does a long title hurt rankings?
Not directly. The downside is truncation, where your key message or brand gets cut off with an ellipsis, which can lower click-through rate.
Should the brand name count toward the limit?
Yes, count everything that appears in the title tag, including separators like " - " or " | " and the brand suffix.
Is the title I type sent anywhere?
No. The length check is a simple in-browser calculation; nothing is submitted to a server.
