How long should a title tag be?

Google truncates titles at roughly 600 pixels, which is usually 50–60 characters. We measure the actual pixel width to be precise.

Does Google always use my meta description?

Not always — Google may rewrite it to match the query. A clear, relevant description still increases the chance it is used and improves click-through rate.
