A title tag that looks fine in your code editor can still get awkwardly cut off with “…” in an actual Google search result — because Google truncates by rendered pixel width, not character count. This tool estimates that truncation before you publish.
What Is the Google SERP Snippet Preview?
Enter your page URL, title tag, and meta description, and see a live mockup of the Google search result snippet, along with warnings about likely truncation on both desktop and mobile.
How to Use It
- Open the tool at /tools/serp-preview.
- Enter your page URL, title, and description.
- Toggle “Preview as mobile” to check the narrower mobile truncation width.
- Read the warnings panel for specific length issues.
Key Features
- Google-style live snippet mockup, including the breadcrumb-style URL path.
- Pixel-width truncation estimate, not just a raw character count.
- Desktop vs. mobile width comparison in one toggle.
- Actionable warnings for titles/descriptions that are too long, too short, or missing.
When to Use This Tool
- Writing a new title tag or meta description and want to see how it will actually look in search results.
- Diagnosing a search snippet that looks cut off, by testing shorter variants before republishing.
- Auditing existing pages for title/description length issues as part of an SEO pass.
