How to Fix Missing Meta Description

No description tag, so Google auto-generates a snippet you can't control.

Symptoms you'll see

The meta description is the short text under your title in the SERP. Without one, Google pulls text from your page — often suboptimal.

Why it happens

A well-written description boosts CTR by previewing value. Missing descriptions mean missed clicks, especially on brand and keyword queries.
