This is a pretty easy fix, and I think it would be really helpful for users that aren't that familiar with SEO.

I'd like to both bump this issue, and revise it.

We emphasize 160 characters here, when a) exceeding the character limit doesn't hurt the page's SEO and b) Google has had the search result excerpt set to 300 characters since December.

My Request: Increase the character limit to 300 characters.

I chatted with @chrisfromthelc about this a bit in Slack. Google technically can display up to 320 characters, but on average, it still displays about 160 characters (seems like a lot of factors at play - article). Still the current red warning experience with no additional info is sub-optimal. We could do the following:

• Normal/gray color from 0-160
• Yellow warning color with info bubble from 161-320
• Red warning color with different info bubble from 321+

I am closing this as the Calypso editor does not exist anymore. An equivalent Gutenberg editor request is here - https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/44777

To write a long meta description you need to focus on keywords, when you write the meta description add keywords in the descritpion. Check out monkey type and check how to write meta descriptions.
