Why Duplicate Meta Descriptions Hurt SEO
Meta descriptions are brief summaries of your web pages that appear in search results. While not a direct ranking factor, they significantly influence whether a user clicks on your result. When multiple pages have the same meta description:
- Search engines may penalize your site or choose to display a different, potentially less relevant, snippet.
- Users might be confused about which page is most relevant to their search query.
- It signals a lack of unique, descriptive content for each page.
Ensuring each page has a unique, compelling meta description is crucial for both search engine optimization and user experience.
