What Is Meta Description?

This is a short description of a page that’s used by search engines but that doesn’t actually appear on the web page itself. The meta description is the description of a web page that appears in search results. Google will use the meta description for the page if it contains the keyword or keyphrase that was used in the search. If it didn’t, Google puts together its own meta description from the text of the page, including a section that uses the key word or phrase.
