How to write a meta description.
What is a meta description for?
A meta description is a short summary of a page in the page's HTML. Google may show it as the snippet under your title in search results. Google's documentation says it may also use text from the page instead when that describes the page better for a given search.
How long should a meta description be?
Google says there is no limit on how long a meta description can be, and that snippets are truncated as needed, typically to fit the device width. So there is no correct character count. The soft limit in this tool is yours, so you can see which option fits the previews you care about.
What makes a good meta description?
Google's guidance boils down to a few points:
- Write a unique description for each page instead of one for the whole site.
- Describe that specific page accurately.
- Include useful facts the title does not, such as price or who it is for.
- Do not stuff it with a list of keywords.
What does a worked example look like?
With the example inputs, the generator returns:
Inputs
- Page topic or main keyword: invoicing software for freelancers
- Product name: Ledgerly
- Key benefit: sends payment reminders so you get paid on time
- Audience: freelancers
- Your soft length limit (characters): 160
