: Do blog titles that exceed the recommended amount for title tags hurt SEO? Some of our blog posts on the company site get flagged in Moz Site Crawl as having title tags with more characters

Some of our blog posts on the company site get flagged in Moz Site Crawl as having title tags with more characters than recommended.

Does this hurt SEO? My thinking is that since blog titles are often on the long-tail side, the negative impact of a Moz crawl error is outweighed by the keywords and voice in the original blog title.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

If the Title is too long for Google to display, it will truncate what it shows, or choose something else that the algorithm 'figures out' to show.

Keeping the Title within the suggested recommended character limit allows Google to display what you have written without any issues.

Having your Title show up exactly as you have written it allows you have more control over what will be displayed, hopefully increasing the CTR.
