There is no crawling involved in this mode, so they do not need to be live on a website. You can now switch to ‘SERP mode’ and upload page titles and meta descriptions directly into the SEO Spider to calculate pixel widths. 2) SERP Mode For Uploading Page Titles & Descriptions (Please remember, just because a word is truncated it does not mean it’s not counted algorithmically by Google). You can quickly filter for page titles or descriptions which are over pixel width limits, view the truncations and SERP snippets in the tool, make any necessary edits and then export them.

This feature means you don’t have to try and guesstimate pixel widths in Excel (or elsewhere!) and should provide greater control over your search snippets.

This means you can also export the changes you have made in the SEO Spider and send them over to your developer or client to update in their CMS. You can make as many edits to page titles and descriptions and they will all be remembered. It also updates the text in the SEO Spider itself and will be remembered automatically, unless you click the ‘reset title and description’ button. This subsequently updates the SERP snippet preview and the table calculations letting you know the number of pixels you have before a word is truncated. The largest update is that the tool now allows you to edit page titles and meta descriptions directly in the SEO Spider as well. You can read more about this update and changes to pixel width and SERP snippets in Google in our new blog post.

You can also bold keywords, add rich snippets or description prefixes like a date to see how the page may appear in Google. The tool now allows you to preview SERP snippets by device type (whether it’s desktop, tablet or mobile) which all have their own respective pixel limits for snippets. Let’s get straight to it, the updated version includes the following new features – 1) SERP Snippets Now Editableįirst of all, the SERP snippet tool we released in our previous version has been updated extensively to include a variety of new features. Thanks again to everyone for their continued feedback, suggestions and support. I am excited to announce version 2.40 of the Screaming Frog SEO spider, codenamed internally as ‘Duck Cam’.
