Meta Description Length
In the search engine optimization business stuff changes all the time and if you were to research the topic “meta description length” then you will see a lot of out of date content dating back to 2005.
What I am doing is optimizing this page for the search term “meta description length” so this article will rank highly as the content that appears in google was written in 2005 and a lot has changed since then.
A meta description is a good tool to use when optimizing your page for several terms, a meta description is what google uses to provide information about your webpage in the search results.
Google says that they won’t necessarily use the meta description in some cases as the content on the webpage is more relevant than the description and will compile its own snippet of text to go with its results.
A meta description length is about 250 characters to 350, it is a good idea to use your keyterms in the description but make sure it is user friendly and you don’t repeat your keywords.
