Hlo Friends,
Can anyone tell me, What are meta descriptions?

Jpinto · 03-30-2017, 03:30 AM

The meta description is the short paragraph of text placed in the HTML of a webpage that describes its content. The meta description will then appear under your page’s URL in the search results.

The meta description is a ~160 character snippet, a tag in HTML, that summarizes a page's content. Search engines show the meta description in search results mostly when the searched for phrase is contained in the description. Optimizing the meta description is a very important aspect of on-page SEO.

Thank you~!

A meta description attribute (sometimes called a meta description "tag") is an HTML element, ~160 character long, that describes and summarizes the contents of your page to search engines. While the importance of meta data has depreciated as a whole, the meta description still plays a significant role in on-page SEO.

A meta description tag is a snippet of HTML code in a web page header that summarizes the content that is on the web page. The meta description is usually placed after the title tag and before the meta keywords tag.
