Hello,
We apologize for the issue you’re facing. In Rank Math, the meta description length is limited to a maximum of 160 characters. This is to ensure that your descriptions are concise and fit well within search engine results. Rank Math provides a length bar and pixel measurement to help you create meta descriptions of the ideal length. If your description exceeds this limit, it will be visually indicated, and you can adjust it accordingly.
Here’s how Rank Math guides you:
- Length Bar: It shows if your description is too long or short. If it’s appropriate, it turns green.
- Pixel Measurement: This shows the exact number of pixels your description will take in search results, helping you stay within the recommended limits.

If you want to ensure your meta descriptions are always within the recommended length, you can manually check them while editing or use the guidance provided by Rank Math.
If you need further assistance or a more comprehensive setup, we recommend our professional setup service available at Rank Math Services. This service requires a PRO subscription and can help ensure your plugin setup adheres to the latest SEO standards.
Thank you for raising this concern! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to reply to this ticket.
