Meta Description Length Checker

How to Write Perfect Meta Descriptions

  1. Keep it between 150-160 characters - Google displays approximately 155-160 characters on desktop.
  2. Include a call-to-action - Use action words like "Learn", "Discover", "Get started" to encourage clicks.
  3. Include your target keyword - Keywords in the description get bolded in search results.
  4. Summarize the page content - Give users a clear idea of what they'll find on the page.
  5. Make each description unique - Avoid duplicate descriptions across your site.

Why Descriptions Matter

While not a direct ranking factor, compelling meta descriptions improve click-through rates, which can indirectly boost rankings.
