FAQ
What is the ideal meta description length?
150-160 characters for desktop, 120 characters for mobile. Include your primary keyword and a clear call to action. Make it compelling -- it is your ad copy in search results.
Does Google always use my meta description?
No. Google generates its own snippet 60-70% of the time, pulling text it considers more relevant from the page. A good meta description increases the chance Google uses yours.
