META DESCRIPTION
The Meta Description is an essential part of content management since it is often used by search engines, such as Google, on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP), to let people know a little bit more about the page before they click.
It is also used by social media websites in the anchor text, which again informs people on social media websites a little bit more about your page before they click to your page.
The Meta Description is therefore critical for:
- CTR - to entice search engine and social media users to click on your page (i.e. improve your click through rate).
- NOT SEO? - according to Google meta description is not used to rank your website, however, it is used in other search engines and should not be underestimated (i.e. improve your search engine optimisation)
