Hi experts

My question is for all the experts. I have observed that character limit of metas and description seems increased but i am not sure. Can anyone help me that is this official announcement of Google? What is the new limit for character for Metas Title and Description.

    Description: Google generally truncates snippets around 300 characters (this limit increased in December 2017, as moz pointed out here: https://moz.com/blog/how-long-should...iption-be-2018 ).

    Title: Google typically displays the first 50-60 characters of a title tag. More info: https://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag

    I hope this helps!

    (Sorry it's not an exact answer - but it may help What I've been noticing on the Google SERPs is if you change your meta title, Google indexes changes sooo much quicker now-a-days. So if you're in early site launch stages - give a few variations a try and compare click through performance and rank. You can always change it back. I think I was able to trial 2 or 3 title tag changes in ~1 week on my homepage.

    I read Jgas's response and this is consistent with the: All in one seo plugin for WordPress (a popular title re-write plugin). It is suggesting a maximum of 60 characters. The plugin reads "Most search engines use a maximum of 60 chars for the title." Personally, I wouldn't be afraid to use more than 60 characters on some posts/pages (especially for topics that are complicated to explain), just bare in mind there's little SERPs advantage in doing so...

    Meta description limit again decreased by Google after December 20th 2017 updates. New Meta description limit is 155 characters.
    Meta title limit is 68 characters.
