# Avoid duplicate meta descriptions
When multiple pages share the same meta description, Google ignores them and generates its own snippet, often pulling unrelated text. Unique descriptions improve click-through rates from search results and help users quickly understand what a page offers.
## Quick Reference
- Each page must have a unique `<meta name="description">` — never reuse the same text across multiple pages
- Google may auto-generate snippets when descriptions are duplicated or missing, often producing worse results
- Target 50–160 characters; craft descriptions that describe the specific page, not the site
## Check
Scan the HTML of every page for `<meta name="description" content="...">`. Identify any description value that appears on more than one URL. Flag pages using the same description as another page, and flag pages where the description matches the site tagline or homepage description.
