So what is meta description?. Meta Description is a meta tag used by a lot of search engine to know the description of a page from a website. As shown above google used meta description to let the user know what lies between the website. As I just stated above, it is not really a great factor to determine the rank in SERP. But a well optimized and catchy meta tag will allow you to attract more visitor to your site

Adding Meta Description

Add Meta Description
To add meta description you just need to do the following things. Head to blogger and click the website that you want to add meta description, and then click "Settings", in there just edit the Description. Make sure you choose yes on"Enable search description", and then put the description of your website just bellow it. 

Add Meta Description
Wait you are not done yet, you still haven't add unique meta description for each of your post. To do this just head to Posts, and then click edit on the post that you wanted to add meta description. If you choose yes on "Enable search description" you should be able to find "Search Description" just on the right side of it. Click on it and put the meta description of your post on it. If you done this two step, you just need to check if your meta description is already there, visit this website, and put the link of the page that you wanted to test, and then press submit. After doing that make sure that the meta description that is listed on that website matched the one in yours.

What if Meta Description does not work

Don't panic if you already did those step above and the Meta Description on that website shows up emtpy. You might used a custom blogger template, and some of them proved to have some trouble with the blogger interface, so if you use one you just need to put some code in the <head> section of your blog. To do this navigate to Template and Edit HTML and then find <head> put the following code just after it.

<b:if cond='data:blog.metaDescription != &quot;&quot;'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' name='description'/>
</b:if>

After you done this make sure that the meta description displayed properly on the website that I pointed out earlier
