About the SEO Title Checker

Check your SEO title before it costs you clicks. Google cuts titles off at roughly 580 pixels — not a character count — so this SEO title checker measures the real pixel width of your title tag in Google's own desktop font, shows exactly how it will appear in the search results (truncated with an ellipsis if it's too long), and scores it 0–100 on length, truncation, and keyword placement. Paste your title, add your target keyword, and see instantly whether it fits and whether the keyword is front-loaded where it carries the most weight.

How to use the SEO Title Checker

  1. 1Paste your SEO title (title tag).
  2. 2Add your target keyword to check its placement.
  3. 3Check the pixel width and preview, then trim until it fits.

Frequently asked questions

How long should an SEO title be?

Aim for 50–60 characters, but pixels are what actually matter: Google truncates desktop titles at about 580px. This checker measures the real pixel width so you know for sure.

Why is my title cut off in Google?

Because it exceeds roughly 580 pixels. Wide characters (like W and M) eat more space than narrow ones (like i and l), so two titles with the same character count can render differently.

Where should the keyword go in a title tag?

As close to the front as possible. Front-loaded keywords are more visible to searchers and carry slightly more weight, which is why this tool flags keywords that appear late.

Does Google always use my title tag?

No — Google rewrites titles fairly often when it thinks another phrase better matches the query. A clear, accurate, well-sized title makes a rewrite less likely.
