But first, what exactly is a meta description? 

Meta descriptions are HTML tags that you can add to your website and your website pages. They are usually limited to 155 characters and contain a small snippet of information about your page and/or website. 

Although SERPs claim that a meta description has no direct SEO benefit in terms of search ranking, Google uses click-through rate (CTR) to determine whether your website generates good search results. The more clicks your website receives, the more likely it will rise in the search rankings. The more clicks your website gets, the higher the likelihood it will go up the search rankings. At the end of the day, how you construct your meta descriptions is super critical.
