Your meta description is the short text under your title in Google. It does not directly change rankings, but a clear and relevant description can win more clicks from the same position. This tool scores your description as you type and tells you exactly what to improve.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a meta description be?
About 140–160 characters on desktop. On mobile Google often shows around 120, so put the important words first.
Does the meta description affect rankings?
Not directly, but a clear, relevant description can raise your click-through rate, which brings more visitors from the same ranking.
Will Google always use my description?
No. Google sometimes writes its own from your page text, especially when yours does not match the search.
