01

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

Try a worked example

Compare a concise title with a longer alternative and keep the main meaning near the beginning.

04

Check the assumptions

Search engines and apps use pixel width and context, not a guaranteed character cut-off; the guidance is approximate.
