Title tags are between 30-60 characters

Google displays roughly 50-60 characters of the title in desktop results and 40-50 on mobile before truncating with an ellipsis. A six-character title like "Home" wastes every pixel of headline real estate and signals zero keyword intent; a 90-character title gets sliced mid-word, so the meaningful half of your headline never reaches the user. Either extreme depresses click-through rate even when you rank on page one.

Target the 30-60 character band. Lead with the page-specific term, end with the brand, and cut filler words. Count characters — not words — because spaces and punctuation consume pixels too.

// app/page.tsx — 46 characters
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Audit Your Vibe-Coded Project | AuditBuffet',
}

For a title template in app/layout.tsx like '%s | YourSite', budget the per-page segment at 20-45 characters so the rendered title stays under 60.
