Well this can really depend on the keywords. Most title and description contain the keywords. If you have long tail keywords then most likely the length of your title and description would also be long

Good Answer. I am suggesting don't go to create more than 55 char in title and 155 char in description.

Your website description doesn't play very important part in ranking your website. But it it helps to draw visitors to your site. Your title should be under 68 character and Description under 160 character.

I also observed that Google display maximum 60 character from title. I think we have to optimize content as well for the rest of keywords.

Proper length of the Title upto- 80 character.
Description upto- 250 character.
It will be appropriate to your page of your website.

n terms of SEO does it matter how long are your page title and description? Although I won’t suggest that you create inordinately long titles and descriptions, if you have something really meaningful to say and you’re not simply stuffing keywords, I don’t think the length adversely affects your SEO. You are advised to create shorter page titles and descriptions because beyond a certain length they cannot be read in the search engine listings. For instance, in a title Google reads up to 66 characters and in description there should not be more than 160 characters.

Even your browser is incapable of showing more than a certain number of characters in the title bar.

So if you are planning to write a bit longer titles and descriptions, just make sure that the important part — the part people can make sense of — appears within the advised character length limit.

Thanks.........
