Frequently asked questions

How long should a meta description be?

Google typically shows about 150–160 characters of a meta description. Longer descriptions are cut off, so staying at or under 160 characters keeps your whole message visible.

Do meta descriptions affect rankings?

Google has said meta descriptions are not a direct ranking factor. They do affect click-through rate, though — a clear, relevant description makes people more likely to click your result.

Should the keyword appear in the description?

Yes, when it fits naturally. Google often bolds the searcher's query words inside the description, which makes your result stand out.

Does this tool change my website?

No. It only suggests description ideas in your browser. You copy the one you like and add it to your own site or CMS yourself.
