Google SERP snippet preview

Preview a search title, URL and meta description on desktop and mobile. See character counts while you prepare your page metadata.

How this tool works

Enter a page URL, title and description. The tool displays your supplied text in an approximate search-result layout. Switch the preview width to review desktop and mobile presentation.

  • This does not fetch the URL or read a live search result.
  • Google can generate a different title or description. There is no universal character limit that guarantees a full snippet.

Read the result, then take action.

Illustrative example — not a live result

Compare a title on two screen sizes

A descriptive title may fit the desktop preview and wrap or truncate at a mobile width.

Next step: Put the main page topic first and keep the description accurate. Treat the preview as an editing aid.

Common questions

What does SERP mean?

SERP means search engine results page. This tool previews one illustrative result from your supplied text.

Will Google show this exact snippet?

No. Google selects title links and snippets for each search. It can use other page text and adapt the display to the device.

Does this check a meta description length limit?

It counts characters and shows a preview. Google does not set a universal meta description character limit; it truncates snippets as needed for the display.
