METADATA DESCRIPTION
-
Hi All
I have a metadata issue. My site crawl is coming back with missing descriptions, but all of the pages look like having descriptions
<meta property="og:description" content="תפריט BBB כיכר רבין" />
Has anyone ever saw a similar problem and have an idea of what is wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
The meta description is very important for SEO. It sums up your page content. Your page will receive more clicks with this meta tag.
If you use WordPress, you should install SEO plugins like Yoast to add and manage meta descriptions.
Title and meta description tags are the best places to add important keywords.

That specific meta data tag is for Facebook. There's a good chance if that issue is showing in your audit then you may not have a meta description present.
You can always manually look at the source code for this tag: "<meta name="description".
I wouldn't stress about it too much updating meta descriptions is usually low priority item.
Best of luck!

Finding websites that don't have meta descriptions
Hi everyone, as a way to find new business leads I thought about targeting websites that have poor meta descriptions or where they are simply missing. A quick look at SERPs shows this is still a major issue for many businesses. Is there any way I can quickly find pages for which meta description is lacking? Thank you! Best regards, Florian

Meta description issue on Google
Hello, I have a small issue on Google with our Meta Description tag not always being properly displayed. If you search for the term: Globe Car (in two words), everything is being displayed properly: http://screencast.com/t/YQCUkJnk Now do the same search for the term GlobeCar (in one word) and the meta tag set into our homepage seems to be totallly ignored and Google is now displaying something that is generated from out of their hat: http://screencast.com/t/K0KeeRGSgspV Anyone has an idea what would cause this? Thanks!

Changes to title and description not appearing in Google search...
www.heatwavemedia.com Search terms: san francisco video production, san francisco video production services In Google search site appears as "Heartwave Media: San Francisco Video Production Services" but I'm sure I've never used a colon in all my iterations of the title... Instead it reads "San Francisco Video Production Services | Heartwave Media" with the description "A San Francisco video production company specializing in creative corporate and commercial video services." But that's not coming up either... I'm on Wordpress and am using All in One SEO if that helps... Thoughts?

Phone Number In Meta Description
People are more likely to call us, than email us. However, if they're using a mobile device, there's a click to call button on that site. My question is this: google does not include our phone number in our meta description. I could try to get the description changed, but it doesn't seem like it would make that big of a deal for just the desktop site. Am I missing something about the importance of the phone number on a desktop site? Any experience with this situation? Thanks, Ruben

Short Description, How Short?
I made a few changes in my site to show the products listing in List format instead of grid format, in format mode it was only showing the name, but in list mode it also shows a short description that I think should be benefical for SEO because it might require words related to the product itself. The question is, how long is too much? Please see example here http://www.theprinterdepo.com/new-printers/l/brand-canon
