Write helpful meta descriptions

A meta description is a short page summary that Google may use for a search snippet.

Why it matters

A useful summary can help visitors understand a result; Google may instead choose page text and has no fixed character limit.

Do it step by step

  1. 1

    Identify important pages with missing or duplicated descriptions.

  2. 2

    Write a specific, natural summary of each page’s offer or answer.

  3. 3

    Keep it concise enough to read comfortably, treating length as a guideline rather than a rule.

  4. 4

    Check that the rendered meta tag matches the page.

Example

Compare our website audit options, deliverables, and timelines before requesting a quote.

Check your work

The selected pages have unique descriptions that accurately summarize visible content.

Complete when

Important page types have useful descriptions; no exact character count is required.

Prompt for an AI coding agent

Use this with an agent that can inspect your project. Account and external actions remain yours to complete.

Inspect my existing website project before editing. Write helpful meta descriptions. Identify important pages with missing or duplicated descriptions. Write a specific, natural summary of each page’s offer or answer. Keep it concise enough to read comfortably, treating length as a guideline rather than a rule. Check that the rendered meta tag matches the page. Keep the existing framework and design conventions. Verify the result with the project's checks and by inspecting the rendered page or response. Explain any manual account, hosting, or Search Console steps I must do myself.
