Why Your Website Needs a Meta Description

The meta description is the snippet shown beneath your page title in search results. Without one, Google auto-generates a snippet — often poorly.

Why This Matters

A well-written meta description improves click-through rates by 5-10%. It's your ad copy in search results.

How to Fix

Add a <meta name="description" content="..."> tag with 120-160 characters summarizing the page content.
