Meta description best practices

  • Aim for 70–160 characters - Google truncates beyond ~160.
  • Include your primary keyword naturally in the text.
  • Write a compelling summary that encourages clicks.
  • Each page should have a unique meta description.
  • Use active language and include a call-to-action where appropriate.
