Description exceeds platform display budgets

warningdescription-too-long

Name

Description exceeds platform display budgets description-too-long

Over-long descriptions are clipped mid-sentence. Readers never see your CTA.

How to fix

Aim for ~70–200 characters. Put the hook in the first 100 characters. Platforms also clamp the description to a fixed number of lines, so a description that fits the character budget can still be cut by the box — the per-platform preview card shows where.

No single template snippet applies; use the measured and expected values in an OGKit finding.
