Your meta description hugely impacts getting users to click on your site from search engine results pages (SERPs). Meta descriptions are HTML attributes that concisely summarize a web page's content in about 160 characters. They appear directly below the blue clickable links in search engine results pages (SERPs), influencing whether searchers will click on your site.
