Why Are Meta Descriptions Important?

Meta tags (including meta descriptions) are used by the Google algorithm, which helps determine what pages should rank well for certain keywords. 

If you’re using meta descriptions properly, you have an opportunity to add a meta tag that isn’t in your content.

Meta descriptions help:

  • Increase CTR, which in turn will boost your conversions & sales.
  • Improve indexing so you rank higher on SERPs.
  • Make it easier for visitors to find the content they’re looking for without scanning page titles or meta tags.

Meta descriptions can also show up on social media sites when a link is shared.
