The following meta description-based recommendations in SEO Recs Home will now display the page meta description from the most recent domain scan:
- Remove title from meta description
- Address pages with duplicate meta description
- Shorten meta description
Previously, we flagged pages that had meta descriptions in need of an update under one of our three recommendations and we included the page title and URL. This was beneficial in pointing users to the correct page to update; however, we did not pull in the meta description itself to allow users to easily scan and see what the current meta description is. This meant users had to click on each page individually and view its meta description in the editor, which was especially arduous for users with non HubSpot-hosted sites.
We will now show the meta description we detected for a page from our most recent crawl alongside the page title and URL information to help you easily review your meta descriptions en masse.
How does it work?
1. Go to Marketing > Website > SEO and view the recommendations for your domain of interest
2. Click on the “On page SEO” category and click “View pages” on one of the following three recommendations
- Remove title from meta description
- Address pages with duplicate meta description
- Shorten meta description
3. The table showing all pages impacted by one of those SEO issues will now include a new “meta description” column that shows the meta description we detected the last time the domain was scanned. To rescan a domain and refresh the current meta descriptions shown, click the “Rescan now” button.
