How to Use Word Counter for SEO Meta Description

Meta Description Character Limits

Google typically displays the first 150-160 characters of your meta description in search results. Go over, and your description gets truncated with an ugly "…" — potentially cutting off your call to action.

This counter shows your exact character count with a visual progress bar toward the 155-character sweet spot. It also flags common mistakes like starting with "We" or using passive voice. All processing is local.
