SEO Title Best Practices
- Keep titles concise and descriptive - aim for around 50-60 characters as a starting guideline.
- Put your main keyword where it naturally fits - usually earlier in the title, without forcing it.
- Make every page title unique - duplicate titles make it harder for search engines and users to tell pages apart.
- Avoid unnecessary keyword repetition - one natural mention is usually enough.
- Write titles for users first - a title that reads naturally will always outperform one stuffed with keywords.
- Check both character count and pixel width - wide letters like "W" and "M" take up more space than narrow ones like "i" and "l".
- Preview how your title may appear in search results - and adjust if it looks like it will be cut off.
- Remember length limits are guidelines, not rules - search engines can rewrite or truncate titles regardless of length.

A common guideline is around 50-60 characters, since titles much longer than that are more likely to be truncated on desktop search results. This is only a guideline - actual truncation depends on pixel width, not character count.

Yes. Google can and sometimes does rewrite or shorten title tags in search results based on the query and page content. Keeping a clear, well-structured title makes a rewrite less likely and keeps it accurate when it happens.
Title length itself isn't a direct ranking factor, but a title that gets cut off can hide your keyword or value proposition from searchers, which can lower click-through rate - an indirect but meaningful effect.
