Totally ignored by search engines and often ignored by Search Engine Optimizers who don't know what they are doing ... the meta description is really, really important.
Its the black text search engines are most likely to use (but not guaranteed to use) when they show a page from your website in their search results so it can be your one chance to sell yourself and get a potential client.

Search engines are also most likely to use it in their search results when:
By setting things up this way it means you will have more control over how your website looks in Google and Bing's search results.
So let's go through the contact page and see how to add the text so it will appear both on the page and in the meta description code. We'll do this first for a SquareSpace site and then for WordPress.
