Why Character Count Matters
Exceeding platform limits means your content gets truncated, potentially losing important information. For SEO, optimal title and description lengths ensure your content displays properly in search results, improving click-through rates.
Pro Tips
Front-load important keywords in titles and descriptions. Leave a small buffer below limits for different display widths. Use emojis sparingly - some count as multiple characters. Test how your text appears on actual platforms.
