Character Counter for SEO: Master Meta Descriptions
In the world of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), length matters. Not word count, but pixel width and character count.
If your Title Tag is too long, Google cuts it off with an ellipsis (...). If your Meta Description is too long, the call-to-action is lost.
You need a precision Character Counter.
The Golden Rules of Length (2025)
- SEO Title Tags: ~50-60 characters. Anything over 60 risks being truncated in search results.
- Meta Descriptions: ~150-160 characters. This is your "ad copy" in Google. Make it punchy.
- Twiter/X Posts: 280 characters.
- Instagram Bio: 150 characters.
Why Not Just Guess?
"Looking about right" isn't good enough when you are fighting for clicks.
- A title like "The Ultimate Guide to Best Coffee Machines in 2025 for Home Baristas" (78 chars) will look like:
- "The Ultimate Guide to Best Coffee Machines in 2025 for..."
- You lost "Home Baristas"—your key audience!
