What is Meta Description? - Page 2 - Site Owners Forums

Jennifer Martin · 04-09-2016, 04:07 AM

Meta Description can be simply defined as a summary of the page. Before clicking on any search result, visitor reads the meta description and decides whether to visit a particular website or not.

Thus, it is very important to write an effective meta description, which makes the reader curious to read the content of the page. And simultaneously increases the click through rate of the website.

The meta description should employ the keywords intelligently, but also create a compelling description that a searcher will want to click. Direct relevance to the page and uniqueness between each page’s meta description is key. The description should optimally be between 150-160 characters.

<head>
<meta name="description" content="Here is a description of the applicable page">
</head>

Once you're looking at the page's code, you'll likely see a meta description tag, which will probably look something like this:

<meta name="description" content="Meta descriptions can have a surprisingly large impact on your search marketing campaigns; find out how..." />

Meta tags let you put description, keyword etc for your website insite your html document. If you open your html document in a browser you’ll not see anything in the body of the document, however, if you put this document online and search engines index it, the description will be displayed as the text below the link in search engine results.
