What is the ideal meta description length?

Google typically displays up to about 155-160 characters on desktop. Descriptions shorter than 120 characters may look sparse, while those over 160 characters get truncated with an ellipsis. Aim for the 130-155 character range for the safest results across all devices.

Does the meta description affect Google rankings?

Meta descriptions are not a direct ranking factor. However, a compelling description improves click-through rate (CTR), which is an indirect quality signal. Google may also bold keywords in the snippet that match the search query, increasing visual prominence.

Can Google rewrite my meta description?

Yes. Google often rewrites meta descriptions when it believes a different excerpt from the page better matches the search query. To reduce rewrites, write descriptions that are specific, accurate, and closely match your page content and target keywords.

Should I include my primary keyword in the meta description?

Yes, when it fits naturally. Google bolds words in the snippet that match the search query, making your result stand out visually. However, do not force keywords — readability and a clear call to action matter more for improving CTR.

Is this tool free and does it store my content?

The tool is completely free and runs entirely in your browser. No text you enter is sent to any server or stored anywhere. Your content remains private.

Can I use the generated text as-is?
