Frequently asked questions
What is a meta description?
A meta description is a short summary of your page that Google often displays beneath the page title in search results. It doesn't directly affect rankings, but it dramatically affects click-through rate — and CTR feeds back into ranking signals over time.
How long should a meta description be?
140 to 160 characters. Below 70 and you're leaving SERP real estate empty; above 160 and Google truncates with an ellipsis. Our generator targets this range by default.
Does the meta description affect SEO rankings?
Not directly — Google does not use it as a ranking signal. But a compelling description increases click-through rate, and CTR is a documented ranking factor. So indirectly, yes.
Why does the tool give me 4 options?
Each variant takes a different angle — benefit-led, curiosity-led, problem-led, social-proof-led, or stat-led — so you can pick the one that matches your audience. Or A/B test two of them and keep the winner.
Can I use these directly?
Yes. They're written as final copy, not outlines. Paste straight into your CMS's meta description field. We recommend reading the page once to confirm the description matches what's actually on the page (Google will re-write your description if it doesn't match the content).
