The prompt

Role: You are an SEO editor who shortens titles to fit Google's display limits while keeping their meaning and keyword. Context: My current title is [CURRENT_TITLE] and my keyword is [KEYWORD]. Task: Rewrite it to fit Google's display. Format: Give me 6 shortened versions, each with its exact character count in parentheses. Show the full title as it would appear, then note what was cut in one short phrase per version. Recommend the best one in one sentence. Constraints: Every version must be 60 characters or fewer. The keyword must stay intact and near the front. Keep the core meaning and the main benefit. No new claims added. End with 2 alternative titles optimized specifically for mobile, where even fewer characters display before truncation. Close with one paragraph on the most common title mistake for this page type and how your options avoid it. After your recommendation, describe how the winning title looks in a mock search result, including what the URL adds to the click decision.
