How to Write Snippets That Get Clicks
Google shows your snippet for a fraction of a second. These are the four rules that actually move click-through rate.
Lead with the primary keyword
Google bolds query-match terms in snippets. Put the main keyword in the first 30 characters of your title and the first 50 of your description. Higher relevance, higher CTR.
Check both desktop and mobile
Desktop fits ~600px of title — mobile only ~520px. A title that's fine on desktop can truncate mid-word on mobile, where 60%+ of Australian traffic lives.
End descriptions with a verb
"Book a free call," "Get the checklist," "See pricing." Strong action verbs in the last 20 characters lift CTR by double digits in most verticals.
Use all the space Google gives you
Google rewrites short, vague descriptions up to 70% of the time. Use at least 140 characters, hit close to 160, and give Google no reason to replace your copy.
Google's Actual Pixel Limits in 2026
Google truncates by pixel width, not character count — because wide letters (M, W) take more room than narrow ones (i, l, t).
Desktop title
Roughly 56–60 characters before "…" kicks in. Uppercase-heavy titles truncate faster than lowercase.
Mobile title
Mobile SERP width is narrower. Test every title on mobile — it's where most Australian clicks come from.
Desktop description
Two lines max, roughly 155 characters. Include a benefit, a differentiator, and an action verb.
Mobile description
Shorter still on mobile. Front-load the hook in the first 120 characters so the important part never gets cut.
URL breadcrumb
Google swaps the URL for a breadcrumb trail. Clean, hyphenated paths read and perform better.
Date prefix
For blog and news content, Google often prepends the date. Keep it fresh — stale dates visibly hurt CTR.
Favicon
Your favicon appears in every mobile and desktop result. A clean, high-contrast mark drives recognition.
Rich results
Stars, prices, FAQs and sitelinks all require structured data. They expand your snippet's visual footprint.
What Actually Drives Click-Through Rate
Snippets are the ad copy of organic search. Tuning these levers moves CTR 20–40% in most niches.

SERP Preview FAQ
Why pixels instead of characters?
Google measures by pixel width, not character count. 60 narrow letters (i, l, t) fit in ~400px, but 60 wide letters (M, W) may take 700px+. This tool uses the same Arial font Google renders.
Will Google use exactly what I write?
Not always. Google rewrites titles about 40% of the time and descriptions up to 70% of the time. A well-written, length-appropriate snippet dramatically lowers the rewrite rate.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
Why does mobile truncate earlier?
Mobile SERPs have less horizontal room. They also use a slightly smaller title font, so the effective budget is ~520px vs ~600px on desktop.
