Meta Description Character Count - SEO prompt template

Table prompt

Count the exact character length of meta descriptions to ensure they're within the optimal 150-160 character range. Helps you identify descriptions that are too short or will get cut off in search results.

What this solves

Google truncates meta descriptions that are too long, and short descriptions waste valuable search result space. Manually counting characters for hundreds of pages is tedious. This prompt quickly identifies descriptions that need length adjustments.

Meta Description: {meta_description}

- "Perfect" if 150-160 characters
- "Too short" if under 150 characters
- "Too long" if over 160 characters

Format: [count] characters - [status]
