How to use the meta title generator
- Enter the page topic or primary keyword, plus an optional secondary keyword.
- Add your brand and location if they belong in the title, then choose the page type and separator.
- Review the generated titles. Each shows its length, estimated pixel width and any warnings.
- Select one to preview it as a search result, edit it and copy the title or the full title tag.
Worked example
Service page: roof repair, Denver, Acme Roofing
With keyword "roof repair", secondary "leak detection", brand "Acme Roofing", location "Denver" and a service page type, the generator returns 11 titles. The first is "Roof Repair Services in Denver | Acme Roofing": 45 characters and about 422 px (estimate), comfortably under the 580 px guideline.
How it works
Titles come from fixed templates for each page type, filled only with what you type (no AI, no invented claims). Duplicates are removed. Pixel width is estimated by summing Arial advance widths at 20 px, the approximate desktop title size. Warnings flag widths over about 580 px, titles under 30 characters, a keyword used more than once, words repeated three or more times and ALL CAPS words.
Assumptions
- Pixel widths are estimates based on Arial at 20 px. Real truncation depends on the device and search engine layout.
- Templates assume your inputs are accurate descriptions of the page.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag be?
There is no fixed character limit because search engines truncate by pixel width. Around 580 px (often 50 to 60 characters) usually displays in full on desktop. Put the most important words first.
Does Google always use my title tag?
No. Google may rewrite titles that are too long, stuffed with keywords or do not match the page. A clear, accurate title that matches the main heading is most likely to be used.
Is this tool using AI?
No. It combines your inputs with tested templates, so the output is predictable and contains no claims you did not provide.
Limitations
- Templates are English only.
- It cannot judge search intent or competition for your keyword.
