Why pixels instead of characters?

Search results truncate titles by width. Wide letters use more space than narrow ones, so two titles of equal length can display differently.

Will Google always show my title?

No. Titles are sometimes rewritten from headings or other page text, particularly when they are very long, stuffed or do not match the page.

Shorten titles that overflow, keeping the primary term near the start.

Examples

Same length, different width

“Willow Mill Wool Mittens” and “Tiny little jiffy fittings” have similar character counts but very different pixel widths, because W and M are wide and i, l and t are narrow.

Understanding the results

Pixel width: Measured with a typeface similar to the one used in desktop results. Around 580px is a practical limit.
Characters: Shown for reference; 50–60 is a common guide.
