Meta description

The meta description lives in the page's HTML and isn't shown on the page itself. Its job is the sales pitch in the search results: a sentence or two that tells someone what they'll get if they click. Google doesn't use it as a ranking factor, and it often rewrites the snippet using text it considers a better match for the query. Even so, a clear, specific description frequently survives, and a compelling one lifts your click-through rate.

Aim for roughly 150 to 160 characters so it isn't cut off, and make every page's description distinct. For a product page, lead with what the item is and why it's worth buying: "Hand-poured soy candles in small batches, with clean cotton wicks and a 50-hour burn. Free shipping over a set order amount." That beats a generic line repeated across the whole catalog, which tells a shopper nothing.

Writing a unique, persuasive description for every product and collection is one of those jobs that's simple in theory and endless in practice. Seokai can generate tailored meta descriptions across your store, so each page makes its own case in the search results.
