What are Meta-Descriptions and Why Are They Important?

A meta-description is a short paragraph of text (160 characters) placed in the HTML of a webpage that concisely summarizes its content. It will appear under your page’s URL in the search results. When used correctly, it can greatly improve the SEO marketing and click-through rates of your website.

Why is a meta-description important?

A well-written meta description can influence the decision of the searcher as to whether they want to click through on your content from the search results or not. The more descriptive, attractive and relevant the description, the more likely someone will click through.

Checklist for writing a good meta-description

  • Keywords: To enhance your SEO marketing efforts, make sure the most important keywords for your webpage show up in the meta-description. Often, search engines will highlight in bold where it finds the search query in your snippet.

  • Write readable, engaging copy. This is absolutely essential. Avoid keyword stuffing your meta-description and make sure it reads in a legible, friendly and enticing way.

  • Treat the meta-description as if it’s an advert for your webpage. A reputable SEO company can help you make your meta-descriptions as compelling and relevant as possible, improving your click-through rate.

  • Keep it short: A meta-description should be no longer than 135-160 characters long. Any longer, and search engines will cut off the end, so make sure all your important keywords are nearer the front.

  • Do not duplicate meta-descriptions. As with all meta data, all your descriptions must be written differently for every page. REMEMBER: Google may penalise you for mass duplicating your meta-descriptions.

How a SEO Company Can Help You Write Compelling Meta Descriptions

Meta-descriptions are very brief extracts, but when used correctly, they’re an extremely effective SEO marketing tool that can influence a user’s behavior and, subsequently, your click-through rate.
