Lesson 2 of 5 · Titles
Keep titles about 50–60 characters
What it is
Google shows roughly 50–60 characters (about 600 pixels) before cutting a title off. Put the most important words first.
Why it matters
A cut-off title can hide your city or service. Note: older guides suggested 60–100 characters — most of that won't be shown.
✓ Good example
'Emergency Electrician Denver – 24/7 | Bright Spark' (50 characters)
✗ Common mistake
A 110-character title stuffed with five cities.
You pass when: Main page titles fit without being cut off.
