What are meta descriptions

Meta descriptions are HTML attributes that present summarizing explanations of the contents of web pages. The Meta description should utilize the keywords intelligently, but also create a convincing description that a searcher will want to click. The description should optimally be between 150-160 characters.
 
The Meta description is a Meta tag that is used to describe the current Web page. It provides a short summary of the page so that readers can decide whether the page is what they are looking for or looks interesting.
 
A meta description is an attribute within your meta tags that helps describe your page. This snippet of text may appear in the search engine results under your headline, though sometimes, search engines will pull a snippet of text from the main body copy of the page instead.
