Social copy and product text

SEO snippets and page copy
Draft landing-page sections, meta descriptions, and article intros here, then open the Meta Title & Description Checker for snippet-specific guidance.

Word count vs character count
Word count helps with writing scope and reading time. Character count helps with strict limits in social profiles, ads, forms, titles, and descriptions. If your text came from a PDF, website, or AI draft, clean it before counting so the numbers are easier to trust.
