Meta Description

The short summary that appears under your page title in Google search results. About 155 characters max.

Meta descriptions don't directly affect rankings, but a well-written one improves click-through rate from search results, which indirectly affects rankings over time. Write descriptions that specifically describe what the page covers and why someone should click.
