    The meta description is a snippet of up to 320 characters.
    SE show the meta description in search results mostly when the searched for phrase is contained in the description.
    it is a very important aspect of on-page SEO

    Meta description is used to summarize the web page contents. The limit is 160 characters. It used to provide the details to visitor that what the page is about. When some one search for the phrase that time, meta description is displayed in the search result in the search engine.

    Your meta description should be matched with the contents on the web page content. It should have the focus keyword. It should be unique.

    A meta description is an attribute within your meta tags that helps describe your page. This snippet of text may appear in the search engine results under your headline, though sometimes, search engines will pull a snippet of text from the main body copy of the page instead.

    You can find the meta description on any web page by right-clicking on the page and selecting "view source" or "view page source":

    Yes meta descriptions are still helpful. The meta description is a snippet of up to 320 characters, a tag in HTML, that summarizes a page's content. Search engines show the meta description in search results mostly when the searched for phrase is contained in the description. Optimizing the meta description is a very important aspect of on-page SEO.

    Meta description still matters in SEO as it helps users and web crawlers to define the content of the webpage of the website.
