Quick answers

Frequently asked questions.

How long should a meta description be?
Google does not set a limit and cuts snippets by width. Commonly measured cut-offs are about 920 pixels on desktop and 680 on mobile, often around 150 to 160 characters.
Does Google always show my meta description?
No. Google often writes its own snippet from the page when it matches the search better. A good description still raises the odds it is used.
Is the meta description a ranking factor?
Google has said it is not, but it shapes the snippet people read before they click.
