How to fix: Pages without meta descriptions

Semrush site audit tips without meta descriptions

Issue: Missing meta descriptions mean search engines will pull random text from your page, which might not be relevant or appealing to users, reducing your chances of getting clicks.

Fix: Add a clear and compelling meta description to every page, including relevant keywords.

How to Fix for Beginners

  1. Write Descriptive Text: Summarize what the page is about in 150-160 characters.
    • Example: <meta name="description" content="Learn JavaScript basics with our easy-to-follow guide for beginners. Start coding today!">
  2. Include Keywords Naturally: Use terms people might search for when looking for your page.
    • Example: For a recipe page, include “easy chocolate cake recipe” in the description.
  3. Avoid Repetition: Ensure each page has a unique meta description to avoid duplication issues.
  4. Check Search Preview: Use SEO tools to preview how your description will look in search results.
  5. Update Regularly: Review your descriptions as content changes to ensure they stay relevant.

Tip: Well-crafted meta descriptions improve click-through rates, boosting your SEO efforts.
