Google Meta Description Guidelines
Too Short
Under 120 characters. You're wasting valuable SERP real estate that could include more benefits and keywords.
Optimal
150-160 characters. The sweet spot for desktop. Looks complete and professional without truncation.
Too Long
Over 160 characters. Google will truncate with an ellipsis (...), which looks unprofessional and may cut off important information.
