FAQ
Is the limit exactly 160 characters?
Google measures in pixels, not characters. Staying around 150-160 characters fits most descriptions on desktop and mobile.
Does a longer description hurt rankings?
No direct ranking impact, but a truncated description can reduce click-through rate from search results.
