    Why it matters

    Your search result is the first thing people see of your page. A preview helps you catch cut-off titles, repeated words and descriptions that don't say why anyone should click, before the page goes live.

    Google shows your site name and icon above the title, then a breadcrumb-style URL. A date appears for content Google sees as time-sensitive, such as news, and takes up part of the description's space.

    The preview is an approximation. Google tests layouts constantly and may rewrite titles or descriptions, so use it to judge length and wording rather than as a pixel-perfect copy.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is this exactly what Google will show?

    No tool can promise that. Google may rewrite your title, write its own snippet or add features such as sitelinks and ratings. The preview follows Google's typical desktop and mobile layout and text sizes.

    Why does Google show a date in some snippets?

    Google adds a date when it thinks the publication or update date matters to the searcher, usually for news and time-sensitive topics. You can't force or remove it, but clear dates on the page and in structured data help Google pick the right one.

    How do I get my site name and favicon to show?

    Google picks them up from your site: add WebSite structured data with your site name, and link a square favicon of at least 48×48 pixels from your homepage. Changes can take a few weeks to appear.

    What's different on mobile?

    Mobile results are narrower, so titles can wrap onto a second line and less of the description fits. If most of your visitors are on phones, check the mobile preview first.

    Can I preview a live page's current snippet?

    Run the page through the On-Page SEO Checker to read its current title and description, then paste them here to preview and improve them.
