Search engines and social platforms parse specific HTML meta tag elements to construct the visual display shown to users. This previewer simulates how those displays look given your current meta tag values, providing a visual check before publishing pages.

For Google search results, the previewer shows the title (from or og:title), URL, and description (from <meta name="description">) in the format Google uses in search result pages. It applies character limits and truncation to show exactly where text will be cut off, helping you craft titles and descriptions that fit within the visible space.<br><br><br><br>For social media previews, the tool uses og:title, og:description, and og:image to simulate Facebook/LinkedIn link previews and Twitter card displays. The preview reveals if your og:image is missing (showing a blank placeholder), if your title is too long, or if your description is insufficient for compelling social sharing.</div></section><section class="bg-surface-100 p-6 rounded-lg shadow-md text-surface-900"><h2 class="text-2xl font-bold mb-4 text-secondary-600">Use Cases</h2> <div class="prose prose-sm max-w-none text-surface-800 leading-relaxed"><strong>1. Pre-Launch SEO Verification</strong><br>Before launching new pages or publishing blog posts, checking the search snippet preview confirms that titles fit within 60 characters, descriptions are compelling and within 160 characters, and the URL looks clean and keyword-relevant. Catching these issues before launch avoids indexing pages with poor meta data that's harder to fix once cached.<br><br><br><br><strong>2. Iterating Meta Description Copy</strong><br>Meta descriptions function like ad copy for search results—they need to be compelling, include the target keyword, and end with an implied call to action. Testing multiple versions in the previewer helps copywriters find the version that's most click-worthy before publishing.<br><br><br><br><strong>3. Social Media Campaign Preview</strong><br>When planning social media campaigns around specific landing pages or blog posts, seeing exactly how shared links will appear helps teams decide whether to invest in creating custom OG images, rewrite descriptions for social context, or adjust titles for social shareability versus search optimization.<br><br><br><br><strong>4. Client Presentation and Approval</strong><br>SEO agencies and web developers use meta tag previewers in client presentations to show how proposed changes will improve search appearance. Visual demonstrations of "before" (default title tag as search snippet) versus "after" (optimized meta data) make abstract SEO recommendations concrete and compelling.<br><br><br><br><strong>5. Audit Remediation Verification</strong><br>After fixing meta tag issues identified in an SEO audit, the previewer confirms that corrections produce the intended visual output before changes go live. This is especially important for ensuring character limits are respected after translating content into other languages where character counts may differ.</div></section><section class="bg-surface-100 p-6 rounded-lg shadow-md text-surface-900"><h2 class="text-2xl font-bold mb-4 text-tertiary-600">Tips & Best Practices</h2> <div class="prose prose-sm max-w-none text-surface-800 leading-relaxed">• <strong>Preview both desktop and mobile:</strong> Google's mobile search results may truncate titles and descriptions differently than desktop results. Preview at both sizes if your audience uses both platforms significantly.<br><br><br><br>• <strong>Google often rewrites titles and descriptions:</strong> Google may display its own title or description if it determines yours is unhelpful or misleading. The best defense is high-quality, relevant meta data that accurately represents your page content.<br><br><br><br>• <strong>Test with your actual OG image:</strong> The social media preview is only as useful as the image you test with. Always preview with the actual image you plan to use to ensure it looks good cropped to the platform's aspect ratio.<br><br><br><br>• <strong>Check how your brand name appears:</strong> Many sites add "| Brand Name" to the end of titles for brand recognition. Preview to ensure this fits within character limits and looks clean in search results.</div></section><section class="bg-surface-100 p-6 rounded-lg shadow-md text-surface-900"><h2 class="text-2xl
