I stumbled on this fantastic Meta Tag counter where you simply enter in your meta tag and it will tell you how many characters you are using.

Why is it important to know how many characters you are using for Meta tags?
Well, a meta description is basically used to display your search result in Google and has a limit of 155 characters or less. If you write a meta description that is longer than 155 characters, you SERP listing will be cut off with a couple of dots…

So when you are adding a new website or even simply a new blog post – head over to this Meta Tag Counter and make sure you are entering the right amount of characters for your Meta title and description.
