How To Add The Meta Description Tag In A WordPress — 6 Comments

  1. I didn’t really know that I could change the description that shows below my title in Google’s search results. This is very convenient indeed because now I can start experimenting with descriptions to see what works and whatnot.

    I always thought that Google chose randomly the description that it would display based on the keyword the user searched for.

    Thanks a lot!

  2. There are so many things to remember when it comes to SEO but HTML meta tags are certainly one that can get overlooked. Loved your walkthrough especially how to add the coding for these tags. I have always added these through the SEO plugins. Which plugin would you recommend?  I will bookmark this for future reference. Thanks

    • Thanks very much for reading my article about adding meta description tags in a WordPress blog post Martin. You are right, this is something that is very often overlooked and that not many people, especially newbies, know the importance of.

  3. Hi John,
    Yes, your article helps me much to understand the usefulness of the meta description tag in HTML. Honestly, it’s a very informative and useful article. I like this mostly because you are the first one who tells me the importance of the meta description tag. Now I realize that it’s not a neglected matter. It has a necessity for every URL. Thanks for knowing this important thing. Like me, others just like this.

    • Thanks very much for your comment Snigdha Alam and I am glad that you learned something that is very important for your SEO. Like you, it took me quite a while to understand how the meta tags were important because nowhere in any training that I have gone through was it mentioned. I discovered that by accident while reading someone’s comment on a blog article.

      This is why I decided to compile this tutorial thinking that it could be very useful for my readers to know about it.

      I wish you the very best,

      John
