In the search engine results pages (SERP), the length of the Title Tag of a page is limited in pixels.
If the content of the tag is too long, Google will cut it off at the display. The maximum length of a Title Tag is therefore 60 to 65 characters (including spaces).

Inserting keywords

Each Title Tag must contain the expression or keywords of the targeted query.
