Meta Description

A meta description is an HTML attribute providing a brief summary of a webpage's content. While not a direct ranking factor, meta descriptions appear in search results and significantly influence click-through rates. Effective descriptions are 150-160 characters and include compelling calls to action.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

Every page on your home care website needs a unique, compelling meta description. For service pages, include your service area and a reason to click. For blog posts, tease the value readers will gain. Always include action-oriented language.

Example: “Compassionate in-home care services in Phoenix, AZ. Our trained caregivers provide personalized assistance for seniors. Free consultation—call today.” This includes location, service, differentiation, and a call to action within the character limit.

Key Takeaway

Write unique meta descriptions for every important page, treating them as advertisements in search results. A compelling description can dramatically increase clicks even when you’re not the top-ranked result.
