Talking Page description??

Hi all, I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer.

A question: when google brings up its page with a description of the web page, does it take that description from the page description all the time or does it pull up text relating to the search.

I am looking at google and how it describes my pages from a searching point of view and have realised that how it describes the page could be better, attract more visitors.

Hope that question makes sense to you,

thanks as ever

Dave

Red face Re: Page description??

Hi me again,

I have just put some keywords into google, found two of my sites, one description is from some bold text on a web site, the other site/page description is taken directly from the page description in the page properties!

I didn't look at the link - but just to add my 2 cents - Google can choose to use anything they want in the description :)
