About this tool
How Meta Description Checker works.
Length
Google shows roughly 920 pixels on desktop and about 680 on mobile, around 120-160 characters. Longer descriptions are cut off.
Keyword use
Including the phrase people search for helps the snippet match their query, and Google bolds matching words.
Click appeal
A clear benefit and a prompt to act, such as learn, compare or get, tend to earn more clicks than a plain summary.
