Frequently Asked Questions
120-160 characters. Under 120 is flagged as too short, over 160 as too long.
No - it only measures length and shows a truncated preview of what would display. It doesn't evaluate wording, tone, or keyword inclusion.
The generator wraps your text in a <meta> tag and silently truncates at 160 characters. This analyzer instead scores an existing description and flags if it's too short, which the generator doesn't do.
Search engines may rewrite very short or missing descriptions automatically, which means you lose control over how your result reads in search listings.
