Google truncates meta descriptions in search results at approximately 160 characters on desktop and 120 on mobile. When your descriptions run over this limit, Google cuts them off mid-sentence — often mid-word — producing a snippet that looks unfinished and unprofessional in the SERP. This directly reduces click-through rate because users perceive the truncated snippet as lower quality. The problem is common on sites where meta descriptions were written to fill space rather than to fit within the display constraint, or where older CMS exports populated the field with the first 200 words of body copy.
Every day this issue goes unfixed, your site bleeds ranking positions. Google sees the gap and rewards competitors who have it sorted. The cost compounds — lost clicks today become lost customers tomorrow.
Once resolved, your pages are complete and competitive. Search engines see a fully optimized page that deserves to rank. Every fix compounds — better rankings drive more traffic, which drives more conversions.
This isn't a cosmetic fix. It directly affects how search engines evaluate your pages. A single resolved issue can be the difference between page 2 and page 1 — and page 1 is where the traffic lives.
Meta descriptions across the site are running 180–220+ characters — Yoast flags every one, and Google is cutting them off mid-sentence in search results, making listings look unpolished and incomplete.
Every over-length meta description has been rewritten to fit within 160 characters, confirmed complete in the snippet preview, and entered into the plugin field with the keyword and call to action intact.
