Why write a Meta Description?
While meta descriptions don't directly impact your Google ranking, they have a massive impact on your Click-Through Rate (CTR). A good meta description acts like an organic ad text, convincing users to click your link instead of a competitor's.
Optimal Lengths
Search engines measure snippets in pixels, not characters. On desktop, Google generally allows up to 2 lines of text (about 960 pixels wide), which roughly translates to 150-160 characters. On mobile, the limit is slightly different.
If your description is too long, it will be cut off with an ellipsis. If it's too short, you are wasting valuable real estate that could be used to pitch your content.
