Why it matters
SEO and GEO impact
A missing or weak meta description reduces search-result click-through rate and makes page intent less explicit for both search engines and AI answer engines.
Common symptoms
- Search snippets look inconsistent across important URLs.
- Google rewrites snippets because it cannot find a strong page summary.
- Important category or feature pages underperform despite ranking.
How to fix it
- Write a unique 50-160 character description for every high-value page.
- Align the description with the page's primary intent and keyword.
- Use templates only when you can still keep the copy specific.
