Frequently Asked Questions

Will Google always use my meta description?

Google displays provided meta descriptions roughly 30–40% of the time; in other cases, it dynamically extracts page content matching the user query.

Should every page on a website have a unique meta description?

Yes, duplicate meta descriptions hurt click-through rates and provide search engines with less context about specific page contents.
