Meta Description
/ˈmɛ.tə dɪˈskrɪp.ʃən/ noun
An HTML attribute providing a brief summary of a webpage's content, displayed below the title in search results. While not a direct Google ranking factor, meta descriptions directly influence click-through rate — a well-written meta description that matches search intent improves CTR significantly. Optimal length is 150 to 160 characters.
