Product features:

Simulate Google search results: This function can simulate Google search results with a high degree of fidelity, presenting users with pixel-level accurate display effects, allowing users to know in advance the actual display of web pages in Google searches.

Include website favicon: The favicon of the website will be automatically included in the simulation results. Users can intuitively see the actual display effect of the favicon in the search results, improving the authenticity of the display.

Supports multi-device preview: Users can easily switch between desktop and mobile device display modes, and use one tool to comprehensively test the display of search results on different devices, saving time and energy.

Keyword bold display: Just as Google boldly displays keywords in search results, this tool will also boldly display the keywords entered by the user in the simulation results, making it easier for users to observe the prominent effect of keywords.

Character and pixel counting: It can accurately measure the number of characters and pixels in titles and descriptions. When the input content exceeds the specified range, it will be highlighted to help users adjust the content in time to avoid being truncated by search engines.

Title tag preview: After the user enters the title tag, the tool will prompt whether the title may be truncated in the search results based on the character limit, and guide the user to create a title that meets the specifications.

Meta description preview: After the user enters the meta description, the tool will show how it may appear in search results, reminding the user to avoid truncation of the description and ensuring that the description is concise and attractive.

Usage tutorial:

1. Title tag preview: Enter a title tag in the SERP testing tool that describes the web page, is attractive to the audience, and is unique in the entire website. To avoid titles being truncated in search results, keep title tags between 30 – 60 characters (285 – 575 pixels) in length, with 45 – 55 characters being optimal. The title tag preview tool shows whether the title may be truncated based on character limits.

2. Meta description preview: Enter a meta description that summarizes the content of the page and includes your business’s unique selling point (USP). To avoid the description being truncated, keep its length between 70 - 155 characters (430 - 930 pixels). A preview of the meta description shows whether it may be truncated in search results.

3. Enter the main keywords: Enter the main keywords you want to target for this page, and the tool will display them in bold just like Google does in mobile and desktop search results. Also check whether the entered content is fully displayed in the meta description preview, and adjust it if not.

4. Copy, paste and publish: Check that the title and description meet the character limit and are not truncated in the preview, confirm that the business name is included at the end of the title, the USP is highlighted in the description, and both contain key keywords and are attractive to users. Once you are satisfied, copy and paste the title tag and meta description from the SERP simulator onto your website.
