Google Snippet Example

Google will often grab content from your site and use it instead of the Meta description that you have written. However, you should still have one.

It's important to remember these things when writing Meta descriptions and titles.

Use focus phrases or keywords, but not keyword stuff. At least use your title in the Meta description if possible.

You should write it like an advertisement for your content. Make it compelling for a searcher.

Keep titles under 60 characters. Keep Meta descriptions under 160 characters

An SEO plugin is required to add a title or Meta description to every piece of content you have on your website.

*Tip - Google will sometimes grab an answer to the question in a paragraph from your post to use as a snippet. Worth keeping in mind when you craft your post!

6. Focus Keyphrase

The All in One SEO plugin allows you to enter the keyword phrase that you wish to rank for. After that, the plugin will instantly review your content and inform you if it is optimized.

If you write an article called "Top 10 Cell Phones for Teens", you would probably rank for the key phrase "best phone for teens" with a search volume of 150. You would then input the keyphrase into AIO SEO and it would inform you if there is more optimization.
