🎯

Keep It 120-158 Characters

Put the most important info in the first 120 characters so it shows on mobile. Use up to 158 for desktop.

🔑

Include Target Keywords

Google bolds matching keywords in search results. If keywords are missing, Google may generate its own snippet.

💡

Write a Call to Action

Make it compelling. The goal is to get the click. Use action words like "Learn", "Discover", "Get", "Try".

⚠️

Unique Per Page

Every page should have a unique meta description. Duplicate descriptions confuse search engines and users.
