Search and sharing

Write a useful search description

Why this matters

A meta description suggests a short summary for your search listing. Search engines may choose different text.

What to do

1. Find the homepage's search description or meta description field in your website editor.
2. Write 50–160 characters explaining your business and what it offers. Publish the change.
3. What to tell your web developer: Please add a meta tag with name=description in the page head, with a useful summary of 50–160 characters in its content. The head contains page settings rather than visible content.

How to check the fix

Run the checker again and look for a search description pass. A pass checks its presence and length, not whether a search engine will display it.
