Character Counter
Track character limits for social and SEO copy.
Google Ads headlines often look short, but Google Ads counts every space, emoji, and symbol toward the 30 characters limit. Shorter headlines keep the value proposition intact across placements. If your copy is over the cap, you may lose the strongest call to action in the preview. A character counter keeps you inside the limit while you refine the phrasing.
Paste your Google Ads headlines into the character counter, select the Google Ads preset, and watch the remaining budget update instantly. The tool counts spaces and punctuation so the total matches what the platform accepts. If you are over 30 characters, shorten the lead sentence, replace long phrases, or move a secondary detail to a follow up post. Recheck the count after each edit to keep the final copy ready to publish.
Character limits are strict, so treat them like a hard budget. Keep the main idea in the first sentence, then trim adjectives, duplicate emojis, or long links to stay under the limit. If you need variations, draft two or three versions and compare the totals so you can pick the clearest option that still fits.
Many platforms show a shorter preview than the full limit, so aim to keep the key message within the first line. If you are close to the cap, replace long phrases with shorter verbs and consider removing filler hashtags. Save a shorter backup version so you can swap it in quickly when you need to post fast.
If your draft has messy spacing, clean it with the Text Cleaner.
