Sometimes Google changes site ranking algorithms and writes about it in their blog. The appearance of search results also changes. For example, the length of meta titles and descriptions in snippets may change in the future.

We receive a notification and promptly make changes to the algorithms of our SERP simulator when data changes even a little. Therefore, you can be sure you create the snippets are always in sync with the real Google snippets.
Meta title
The meta title is the most important element of the snippet. It presents an exact and brief page content on a Google SERP page.
A good meta title tag directly affects your snippet's CTR
The title is also used in browser tabs and helps users orientate many open tabs well.
Publishing your articles on social networks the title is used as the title of the published post. Here's the example of how Facebook uses the title.
Example Meta Title Tag Code
<head>
<title>This is the meta title tag. It can contain 45-60 symbols</title>
</head>This code should be written in the <head> section of the page
How write a good meta title
Writing a good meta title tag is a very effective SEO solution that doesn't require much effort. Here are some recommendations for creating a meta title.
Consider the length of your meta title tag
Too long titles are truncated and appended with ellipsis at the end of «...» in Google SERP snippets. This can be cut off an important part of the text, for example, the name of the brand or the city in which the service is provided. The title width must be less than 600 pixels. This is approximately 60 symbols.
Because of the different width of the letters, the exact length of the title is determined by the width, not the number of symbols.
The SERPure simulator matches the title length to the snippet width, so you can create titles that fit into the snippet completely.
Include your brand in the title
Having a well-known brand often determines if someone click on your snippet. The brand is usually written at the end of the title, placing the main keyword at the beginning. In some cases it's best to focus on your brand and place it at the beginning. For example, for the pages «About the Company» or «Contacts».
Place keywords at the beginning of your title
People read the text from left to right and only see the first 2 words of the title in most cases, so it is better to place important information at the beginning of the text. Also, keywords at the beginning of a snippet have a greater impact on search rankings.
We recommend using the following template when creating meta title tags:
[Product Name] — [Product Category] | [Brand Name]
The SERPure simulator will tell you about this if keywords are not used at the beginning of the title.
Try to avoid titles such as «Home» or «Blog». The click-through rate on these pages is very low and they will affect SEO promotion negatively.
Instead use more meaningful titles that inform the content of the page, for example:
- The title «Home» can be replaced by: Buying and selling websites - Web studio «My Company»
- The title «Blog» can be replaced by: IT and Hi-Tech news from around the world | «My Company»
Don't add too many keywords
Avoid simple keywords listing of in the title, for example:
To buy site, best sites, cheap sites, sites for sale
A person considers such titles as spam, therefore they have a bad user experience and negatively affect the site SEO. Remember Google is good at recognizing keywords variations and you don't need to include all of them in your title.
Write for people, not search systems
Google bases on behavioral factors and user experience and continually improves its algorithms, so focus on visitors first.
The main title purpose is to grab the attention of visitors and get a click to your website.
The title is the first acquaintance the visitor with your site even on the Google SERP pages, so try to make it as useful and accurate as possible.
Meta description
Meta description is a small piece of text from your web page displayed under the meta title.
Meta description does not affect Google rankings
The meta description is not used in Google's algorithms for ranking sites, it introduces the visitor to your web page and helps to understand whether your page contains the information that the user is looking for or not. This directly affects website traffic from search results.
Example Meta Description Tag Code:
<head>
<meta name="description" content="This is a meta description tag. It will often appear in search results">
</head>This code should be written in the <head> section of the page
How to write a good meta description tag
A well-written meta description perfectly complements the meta title and directly affects the CTR (click through rate) from the Google SERP, so the following recommendations should be considered.
Consider the length of the meta description tag
Google does not prohibit the long meta descriptions in snippets, but the texts will be truncated to about 155–160 characters and ellipsis «...» will be added at the end of the text
The length of the meta description tag is calculated by the width of the snippet, not by characters, and it is different on different devices. For example, description length should be no more than 1000 pixels on desktop devices and no more than 800 pixels on mobile devices.
Your meta descriptions will be more informative if you use a text length of at least 80 characters. Also, do not forget about the maximum length so that an important part of the text is not cut off.
SERPure simulator will check the length of your meta description on different devices and tell you when it is too short or too long
Use keywords in the meta description
Google bolds keywords from search phrases, so use them in your meta description. Highlighted parts of the text attract the attention of visitors well.
Usually, people look to the left side of the snippet more often, so try to place your keywords at the beginning of the meta description.
Motivate your visitor
Think about the benefits of your service and write these benefits in the meta description. It's easy if you think like a visitor and understand what benefits you get after going to the site. With the SERPure simulator, this is easy to do, as the tool shows standard Google search results.
At the same time, do not list all the possible benefits in the meta description. Briefly tell the visitor about the most important.
A call to action is very effective in the description. Use phrases that motivate the visitor to click on your snippet, for example: «View products», «Buy on credit», «Get a discount».
Don't use boilerplate formatting
Meta descriptions compiled from a template are immediately visible and they may not cause much confidence. Contact a visitor directly and tell him about your web page in your own words. After that, the visitor will be more loyal to your snippet.
Use special characters
Google supports the use of special characters in the meta description. They look very noticeable and can increase the CTR of your snippet.
Do not use multiple identical characters to avoid spamming the text.
Better to use symbols that add meaning to your text. For example, you can add a phone (☎ - ☎) or letter envelope (✉ - ✉) symbol to your contact information, and you can add a list bullet symbol (‣ - ‣) to a product's benefits or properties.
Our SERP simulator supports special characters. Just copy and paste them into the meta title and short description tags.
