The problem it solves

Meta titles and descriptions that run too long get cut off in search results, which quietly hurts your click-through rate. Rewriting each one by hand to fit the character limit across dozens or hundreds of pages is a slow, thankless task.

Who it fits

SEO teams or website owners managing meta tags across many pages.

How it works

  1. The system reads each row of meta titles and descriptions from a spreadsheet
  2. Rows with existing content are sent to Google Gemini
  3. Gemini rewrites each one to the correct SEO length
  4. The shortened versions are written back into the same spreadsheet
What you get

Meta tags trimmed to the length search engines want

Your meta titles and descriptions get rewritten to the ideal SEO length right inside your spreadsheet.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet with properly length-optimized meta titles and descriptions.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
