What this checks
Lead with the service, product or answer the page actually provides. A clever title that hides the subject usually wastes the impression.
Google can rewrite snippets and truncation is based on displayed width, not a fixed character limit. The counters are useful drafting guidance, not a guarantee.
Use the description to clarify audience, outcome or differentiator. Avoid repeating the title word for word.
The snippet cannot rescue weak content. Make sure the visible heading and page copy deliver what the search result promises.
