A meta description is the short summary that often appears under your page title in search results. It is not a ranking factor, but it strongly affects whether people click.
Around 120 to 160 characters usually displays in full. Google frequently rewrites descriptions using text from the page, so treat yours as a strong suggestion rather than a guarantee.
If the page has no description at all, search engines will pick their own snippet — usually the first text they find, which is rarely your best sales pitch.
