max-snippet

Definition

With `max-snippet`, you can specify the maximum length of the text snippet from your website that appears in Google search results. For example, `max-snippet:160` limits the preview to 160 characters. Using `max-snippet:0` prevents text snippets from appearing altogether. This setting can also affect how Google uses your content in AI Overviews and in AI Mode.
