# SERP Preview

https://rankproof.eu/tools/keywords-serp-preview

## Short answer

Preview how your page appears in Google search results.

## What It Does

Shows how your title, URL and meta description could look in Google's results, in a desktop and a mobile layout. It measures the rendered width of the title and the description and flags text likely to be cut off. The preview updates as you type.

## How It Works

1. Type or paste a title, a URL and a meta description
2. We measure the rendered width of each: titles wider than about 580px and descriptions wider than about 990px are likely to be cut off
3. Show the preview in a desktop and a mobile layout, with a warning for text that will be cut off
4. Edit the text and watch the preview update

## Why It Matters

Your title and description are the first thing searchers read. A title cut off in the middle of its key words looks unfinished and can cost clicks. Fixing it takes a minute per page.

## Who Uses This

- **Content Writer**: Before publishing every post, paste the title and meta — adjust until both render in full on mobile.
- **SEO Manager**: Check the titles of your most-visited pages and rewrite the ones that get cut off before the key words.
- **CRO Specialist**: Try several title variations, keep the ones that fit, then compare click-through rates in Search Console after the change.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does Google always use my title and meta description?

No. Google often rewrites titles it finds too long, stuffed with keywords or off-topic, and it may build the snippet from page text. Keeping your title within the width shown here lowers the chance of a rewrite.

### What's the ideal title length?

Under about 580px wide, which is roughly 50–60 characters in most fonts. That is the width this tool uses to flag a title as cut off.

### Mobile or desktop SERP?

In many markets most searches happen on phones, so check the mobile layout first. This preview uses the same width limits for both layouts.

### Does meta description impact ranking?

No. Google does not use the meta description for ranking. It can become the text under your result, which affects whether people click.

### Why is my title showing differently in Google than the preview?

Google may rewrite based on context, especially if the title runs long or reads as keyword-stuffed. Shortening it to fit within the length shown here reduces the chance of a rewrite.
