Multiple pages reuse the same meta description
A meta description is the short snippet of text Google shows underneath a page's link in search results. This check looks for the same meta description text being reused across more than one page. On this site, several crawled pages share an identical meta description. A generic, repeated description cannot sell the specific content of each individual page, so it lowers the click-through rate, the share of people who see the listing and actually click it, from search results. Fixing this affects only pages that already appear in search, making it a low-effort win on traffic the site has already earned. Your marketing team should write a unique 150-160 character description for each affected page, summarising what that specific page offers and including a reason to click, ideally naming what makes it different from the others sharing the duplicate. Budget about fifteen minutes per page once the list of duplicates is confirmed.
