Meta Description Tag

A meta description is an HTML <meta> tag that provides a brief summary (typically 150–160 characters) of a web page's content, displayed beneath the title tag in search engine result pages. While it is not a direct ranking factor for Google, a well-crafted meta description significantly influences click-through rate by giving users a compelling reason to click.

Meta description quality and length are audited using Screaming Frog's meta description report, SEMrush Site Audit, and Ahrefs Site Audit. Google Search Console's Performance report shows CTR data per URL, enabling A/B testing of meta description variants to find the highest-performing copy.
