Some people say meta descriptions are dead. They're wrong. Meta descriptions are still displayed in Google search results, and they're still the first thing users see.

I analyzed 50 top-ranking pages. Every single one had a well-written meta description. The pages with better meta descriptions had higher click-through rates.
