    To be precise the length of Meta Title Tag is 60 characters & Meta Description Tag should be of 160 characters long including spaces. Don't repeat the same words in the Meta Tags and always keep your meta tags keyword & your service/product specific. Hope this answer helps.

    Meta descriptions can have any length, but search engines truncate snippets longer than 160 characters. It is best to write the description between 150 and160 characters. For title tag, google display 50 to 60 characters of title tag and your title can have the length of 70 characters.

    The first 50-60 characters of a title tag, or as many characters as will fit into a 512-pixel display. If you keep your titles under 55 characters, you can expect at least 95% of your titles to display properly.

    There are no hard and fast rules regarding the length of title and meta description tags. However, the recommended length of title is somewhere between 65 to 70 characters including spaces, because more than this likely to be truncated in the search results.

    Title tags: The recommended length of a title tag is 60 characters or less, as longer titles may get cut off in search engine results pages (SERPs). The title tag summarizes the content of a web page and should be descriptive, relevant, and appealing to users.

    Meta descriptions: The recommended length of a meta description is between 150-160 characters. The meta description provides a brief summary of the web page's content and should entice users to click through to the site.

    It's important to note that these are just guidelines, and the actual character limit may vary based on the search engine used. However, keeping your title tags and meta descriptions within these recommended lengths can help ensure that your web page is accurately represented in search results and can help increase click-through rates.

    The length of title and meta tags can impact how they appear in search engine results pages (SERPs). Generally, titles should be between 50-60 characters and meta descriptions should be around 155-160 characters. However, it's important to note that search engines like Google may truncate titles and descriptions that exceed these lengths. It's also important to ensure that your titles and meta descriptions accurately reflect the content on the page and include relevant keywords for optimal search engine optimization (SEO).
