What is a Meta Description?

A meta description is a short HTML summary of a page, typically up to about 155–160 characters, that search engines may show beneath the page title in results.

Why it matters

Meta descriptions do not directly affect ranking, but a clear, specific one can make a result more likely to be clicked. When a page has none, the search engine writes its own snippet from the page content — often poorly.

On Shopify, a product's meta description is set in its "Search engine listing" section.
