Fixing "Meta description missing" issue on site audit.

Written by Julia

Meta descriptions provide a summary of the page and are displayed below the title in search results. If a meta description is missing, search engines may generate their own snippet, which may be less relevant and less appealing to users.

What to do: Review the pages listed in the audit and add a meta description to any page that is missing one.

How to fix: Create a unique and relevant meta description that summarizes the page content and encourages users to click through from search results. To fix that using our application, please follow the steps below:

Step 1 - Click the link on the left-hand side

Step 2 - Click the Edit button in the top-right corner

Step 3 - Click the edit icon, enter a meta description, and save the changes

Note: If the issue is still there after adding a meta description, it is possible that there is an issue within your theme.liquid file. In this case, please contact our live support team, and we will be happy to investigate this for you.
