Write a description and see its character count immediately.
characters160 remaining to your target
The 160-character marker is a writing target, not a guaranteed search-result cutoff.
How to use this counter
Type or paste a draft into the box. The count updates as you edit. You can use 160 characters as a target if your publishing workflow requires that exact length, but search engines may display snippets differently depending on the query and device.
A useful description should accurately summarize the page and give readers a reason to visit. Avoid adding phrases that the page cannot support.
