Meta description

A meta description is a short HTML attribute that summarizes a web page's content for search engines, social previews, and AI assistants.

The meta description tag — <meta name="description" content="..."> — has been an SEO staple since the 1990s. In the AI era it has taken on new importance: LLMs use it as one of the first signals when deciding what a page is about.

A strong meta description is under 160 characters, contains the page's primary keyword, and reads as a self-contained one-sentence summary. AgenticSEO audits flag pages with missing, duplicated, or overly long meta descriptions.
