The Meta Description is an HTML element that provides a brief summary of a web page's content. It often appears in search engine results below the page's title and is intended to encourage users to click on the search result.
While Meta Descriptions do not directly influence search engine rankings, they play an indirect role by potentially impacting the Click-Through Rate (CTR). An appealing, clearly formulated, and relevant Meta Description can encourage users to click on a link, which in turn can positively affect the ranking.
