Meta description
Add a meta description
If the page has no description, search results may show less helpful text and the page is easier to overlook. The checker looks for a summary that can explain the page to potential visitors.
- 01
Step 1
Write one or two sentences that say what the page is and who it is for.
- 02
Step 2
Keep it specific to this page rather than repeating a site-wide slogan.
- 03
Step 3
Add it in the document head as a meta description, for example <meta name="description" content="Your summary">.
- 04
Step 4
Run the checker again. Missing descriptions fail; very short or very long ones are worth improving.
The audit does not write the description for you. It only reports whether a useful summary is present.
