Why Title Length Matters
Search engines typically display the first 50-65 characters of a title tag in search results. Titles longer than this may be truncated with ellipsis (…).
Optimal range: 50-65 characters
- Too short (<50): May not fully describe your content
- Too long (>65): May be truncated in search results
- Just right (50-65): Fully visible and descriptive
