Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Google sometimes show different text than my meta description?

Google may generate its own snippet based on the search query and your page content. Your meta description is a suggestion, but Google ultimately decides what to display.

What is the difference between desktop and mobile character limits?

Mobile screens are narrower, so Google shows less text. Titles typically show around 70 characters on mobile vs 60 on desktop. Descriptions show about 120 characters on mobile vs 160 on desktop.

Does SERP appearance affect SEO rankings?

While the meta description itself is not a ranking factor, click-through rate is. Better snippets lead to more clicks, which can indirectly improve your rankings over time.
