Common mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting that spaces count as characters in most limits.
- Pasting text with extra line breaks, which adds to the count.
- Assuming emojis count as one character. On some platforms they count as two or more.
Tips

- Search engines truncate long titles and descriptions, so put the important words first.
