Google truncates search result titles based on pixel width, not a fixed character count, but about 60 characters for titles and 155 for descriptions is a practical approximation that keeps most titles from being cut off. The Bulk Editor shows a live count against those thresholds as you edit.
Search result titles are truncated based on how much horizontal space they take up, and characters like "i" and "l" take up less width than "W" or "M". A title with mostly narrow characters can run longer than 60 and still display fully; a title full of wide capital letters might truncate earlier. 60 characters is a widely used, reasonably safe approximation, not an exact rule enforced anywhere.
About 60 characters is the common safe guidance, with the primary keyword placed near the front where it's least likely to be truncated.
About 155 characters is the common safe guidance. Beyond that, Google may still show it, use a different snippet, or truncate depending on the query.
Loads every title and description into the grid, from Bulk Meta Titles and Descriptions.
Each cell shows a running count as you edit, so a title approaching or past the threshold is visible immediately, not discovered later in Search Console.
Trim the titles that need it across as many pages as apply, preview the changes, and save with an automatic backup.
No. Google truncates based on pixel width. About 60 characters is a practical approximation, not an exact enforced limit.
Google may truncate it or rewrite the displayed title based on the query. Nothing breaks, but you risk losing control of what searchers see.
