Free SERP Preview Tool
Preview how a title, URL, and meta description might look in a Google-style search result on desktop and mobile. Enter your text to see character counts, rough pixel estimates, and crop warnings. This is a local mock, not a live Google fetch, so treat the panels as a drafting aid rather than a guarantee.

Mobile result
No live Google data is used. Pixel values use a rough 10-pixels-per-character estimate, and the mobile crop is illustrative.
How to read a SERP preview without overtrusting it
A search result snippet is assembled by the search engine, not fully controlled by the page owner. You can supply a title tag and a meta description, but Google may rewrite either one, insert page text, or add features such as sitelinks. Use this preview to check the basics: does the title make sense on its own, is the description specific, and does the important part appear before the text gets cropped?
The desktop and mobile panels show the same content at different crops. The mobile panel uses a shorter limit to illustrate how narrow screens trim a result. Character guides of roughly 30 to 60 for titles and 120 to 160 for descriptions are common conventions, not limits enforced by Google. The pixel numbers use a flat ten-pixels-per-character heuristic, so treat them as a rough comparison between drafts rather than a measurement of the real font.
A practical workflow: write the title, put the main topic near the front, then write a description that adds information instead of repeating the title. Compare both panels, shorten anything that loses meaning when cut, and copy the final text into your CMS. If a page has already been indexed and Google shows different text, changing the tags does not force an immediate update.
Common mistakes: stuffing keywords until the title stops reading naturally, writing a description that only says the page exists, ignoring the display URL, and assuming the preview is what every visitor sees. Localization, query context, and device size all change the result. This tool uses no network requests and does not fetch live results; it is a local mock built for drafting and comparison.
FAQ
Is this SERP preview accurate?
It is an approximation. The panels mimic a typical Google result, but fonts, spacing, features, and snippet rules change. It does not reproduce Google's exact layout.
Does the tool fetch live Google results?
No. It never contacts Google or any other server. Everything is generated locally from the text you type.
What title and description lengths should I target?
A common guide is roughly 30 to 60 characters for the title and 120 to 160 for the description. These are not hard limits, and Google may rewrite or crop either one.
Why do the desktop and mobile previews differ?
The mobile panel uses a narrower crop to illustrate how a small screen trims text. Both panels use the same underlying title and description, so the difference is illustrative rather than measured.
Is the SERP preview tool free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no signup, account, API key, or payment. There is no usage limit.
Will Google show exactly what I preview?
Not necessarily. Google can replace your title or description with page text, and it may add or remove sitelinks and other features. The preview is a drafting aid, not a promise.
