AI meta description generator
Enter the keyword and a short summary of the page. The AI returns 3 meta descriptions at the ideal length, with your keyword and a call to action. No sign up.
How to write the perfect meta description
A meta description is the summary of up to 160 characters that shows below the title in Google results. It is not a direct ranking factor, but it drives click-through rate (CTR), and CTR affects how a page performs in search. A good meta description is the difference between a result that gets skipped and one that gets clicked.
The ideal meta description length
Google shows around 150 to 160 characters on desktop and a bit less on mobile. Beyond that, the text is cut with an ellipsis. Rule of thumb: write between 150 and 160 characters and put the most important information in the first 120, since that is what always shows.
| Element | Recommended length | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Meta description | 150 to 160 characters | Google trims longer text |
| SEO title | 50 to 60 characters | Same trimming rule on the title |
| First sentence | up to 120 characters | It is what shows on mobile |
What every good meta description has
- The main keyword, because Google bolds the searched term and that draws the eye.
- A clear benefit: what the reader gains by clicking.
- A call to action, like “learn more”, “compare prices” or “start free”.
- Active, specific language, no generic lines that fit any page.
Why Google sometimes rewrites your meta description
Google rewrites the meta description around 60% of the time when it thinks a snippet from the page answers the query better. That is normal. It is still worth writing your own: it is used for most exact-keyword searches and on social networks when no Open Graph tag is set.
Common mistakes that hurt CTR
- Repeating the title in the description, wasting space.
- Going past 160 characters and losing the call to action in the cut.
- Using the same description on several pages (duplication).
- Writing for the bot instead of the person who decides the click.
Meta description questions

Yes, it is free and needs no sign up. Enter the keyword and context and get 3 options instantly.
Is the meta description a ranking factor?
Not directly. But it drives click-through rate, and a page that gets clicked more tends to perform better in search over time.
What is the ideal length?
Between 150 and 160 characters. Beyond that, Google trims the text in results.
Do I need to include the keyword?
Yes, naturally. Google bolds the searched term when it appears in the description, which increases attention.
Can I reuse the same description on many pages?
Not recommended. Each page should have its own to avoid duplication and describe that content accurately.
Is the AI-generated content stored?
No. Generation happens on demand and the text is not stored.
