Frequently Asked Questions
What is a meta description and why does it matter for SEO?
A meta description is an HTML attribute that provides a brief summary of a web page's content. It appears as the snippet text below your page title in search engine results. While Google has confirmed that meta descriptions are not a direct ranking factor, they significantly impact click-through rates (CTR). A compelling meta description can be the difference between a user clicking your result versus a competitor's. Higher CTR signals relevance to search engines, which can indirectly improve your rankings over time.
How long should a meta description be?
The ideal meta description length is between 150-160 characters. Google typically displays up to 155-160 characters on desktop and around 120 characters on mobile before truncating with an ellipsis. Descriptions shorter than 120 characters may not provide enough context to entice clicks, while those over 160 characters risk having your key message cut off. This tool automatically tracks character count so you can ensure your descriptions stay within the optimal range.
Does Google always use my meta description in search results?
No, Google rewrites meta descriptions approximately 60-70% of the time. Google may generate its own snippet from your page content if it determines that a different excerpt better matches the user's search query. However, writing a strong meta description still matters — when Google does use it, it represents your page exactly how you intended. Well-written meta descriptions are also more likely to be used as-is. Including relevant keywords naturally in your description increases the chance Google will display it.
Should I include keywords in my meta description?
Yes, including your target keyword and closely related terms in your meta description is a best practice. When a user's search query matches words in your meta description, Google bolds those words in the search results, making your listing more visually prominent and increasing CTR. However, avoid keyword stuffing — the description should read naturally and compellingly. Focus on one primary keyword and one secondary keyword, woven into a sentence that clearly communicates the value of clicking through.
Can I use the same meta description on multiple pages?
You should avoid using duplicate meta descriptions across multiple pages. Each page on your site serves a different purpose and targets different keywords, so each meta description should be unique and specific to that page's content. Duplicate meta descriptions are flagged as issues in SEO audits and represent a missed opportunity to optimize each page individually. If you have many pages and writing unique descriptions feels overwhelming, prioritize your highest-traffic and most important pages first.
