A title tag preview tool is a free online SEO utility that shows how your page title will appear in Google search results. Type your title to get a live SERP preview with a character counter, a 50-60 guidance bar, and a pixel-width meter that shows exactly where Google cuts titles off at about 580 pixels.
Pixel width (Google cuts titles at about 580 px)
Red text in the preview shows where Google would truncate your title.
How long should a title tag be?
Keep title tags between 50 and 60 characters. Google truncates titles by pixel width (about 580 pixels on desktop), not character count, so wide letters like W eat more space. A 55-character title with narrow letters can fit while a 50-character title with wide letters gets cut. The pixel-width bar above measures your exact title the way Google does.
When in doubt, front-load: put the keyword and the benefit first so truncation, when it happens, only trims the brand name at the end.
Where should keywords go in a title tag?
Put your primary keyword as close to the start of the title as possible. Google gives more weight to early words, and if the title is truncated, the visible part still carries the keyword. Follow with a benefit or differentiator, then your brand name at the end - a front-loaded keyword survives even the harshest truncation.
Write one clear keyword phrase per page: repeating the same term looks spammy and wastes the limited pixel budget.
Why does Google rewrite title tags?
Google rewrites titles when yours is missing, stuffed with keywords, or mismatched to the query - it may pull the H1 or on-page text instead. Clear, accurate titles under 60 characters are rewritten far less often. If Google keeps rewriting yours, shorten it and make it match the page's main heading more closely.

How long should a title tag be?
Keep titles between 50 and 60 characters. Google truncates by pixel width (about 580 pixels), not characters, so wide letters eat more space. The pixel bar on this page measures your exact title.
Why measure pixels instead of characters?
Because Google cuts titles at about 580 pixels: a 55-character title in narrow letters can fit while a 50-character title in wide letters gets truncated. Pixel measurement is the accurate check.
Why does Google rewrite my title tag?
Google rewrites titles that are missing, keyword-stuffed or mismatched to the query, pulling the H1 or page text instead. Clear, accurate titles under 60 characters are rewritten far less often.
Should I put my brand name in the title tag?
Yes, but at the end. Lead with the primary keyword and the page benefit, then add the brand after a separator. That way truncation never hides what the page is about.
