Table of Contents
Paste a title tag and the keyword you are targeting, and this tool reports its character length, whether the keyword is present, where in the string it appears, and a set of specific changes. It is for the moment before a title ships, when you still have a free hand to rewrite it.
Why position matters
A title is read left to right and truncated from the right. Anything after the cut is invisible in the result, so a keyword sitting at the end of a 78-character title may never be seen by the person deciding whether to click. The tool reports the keyword position for exactly this reason.
Worked example
Take this title:
The Complete and Definitive Guide to Everything You Need to Know About Pyeong ConversionThat is 88 characters, and the only distinctive word - pyeong - sits at character 71. In a result it truncates to "The Complete and Definitive Guide to Everything You Need to Know About..." which tells a searcher nothing. Rewritten:
Pyeong to Square Meters Converter - Korean Apartment SizesThat is 57 characters, leads with the term people search, and uses the remaining space to say who it is for.
On length
Around 50 to 60 characters is the usual working range. The real constraint is pixel width rather than character count, because Google truncates on rendered width - a title of capital Ms truncates far earlier than one of lowercase Is. Character count is a reliable proxy, not a rule.
Honest limits
Google rewrites titles. It has done so openly since 2021, most often substituting an H1 or anchor text when it judges the title tag a poor match for the query, and this affects a substantial share of results. A well-formed title makes rewriting less likely; nothing makes it impossible. Treat the score here as a check on your own clarity, not a guarantee of what is displayed.
