#Meta descriptions

A meta description is a short summary of a page placed in the HTML head, which search engines may show as the snippet under the title in search results. It is not a direct ranking factor, but a clear and relevant description can make more people click. Search engines often rewrite descriptions that do not match the query or the page. Missing and duplicate descriptions are among the most common issues found in SEO audits. The articles under this tag explain how to write, template and audit meta descriptions across a whole site.
