Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag be?
Aim for 50–60 characters. Shorter titles waste SERP real estate, and anything past roughly 70 characters is almost always truncated with an ellipsis.
Does Google always use my title tag?
No. Google rewrites titles when it thinks another phrasing better matches the query. A clear, accurate, keyword-front-loaded title is the best way to keep your version.
