Lesson 2 Vocab 36 - Meta Description
by Matthew A Perosi, jWAG Founder
The "Meta Description" is part of the HTML family of programming tags that help with your SEO efforts. Knowing how to program it and where it belongs inside each individual web page is not as important as knowing that you must have one for every page.

IMPORTANT: Cancel your service and find something different if your CMS does not give you the ability to change your Meta Description tag on every page of your website. Seriously. No Joke. No Control? CANCEL NOW!

The Meta Description is a {You must be a Registered Subscriber to view this content.} description of what the visitor will find on your web page. The description needs to include as much detail as possible {You must be a Registered Subscriber to view this content.}

{You must be a Registered Subscriber to view this content.}

Google uses the Meta Description on the search results page. It is the first thing a potential visitor sees before clicking into your website.

Your description is actually an online advertisement and you need to keep that in mind when composing it. {You must be a Registered Subscriber to view this content.}

Don't simply use
      "Our collection of 14k Gold Rings"
Instead say
      "14k Gold Rings, and other gold ring designs that are sure to put a smile on her face, and yours. Call us at 888-872-0274 to make an appointment."

{You must be a Registered Subscriber to view this content.} I feel that proper Meta Description writing is an art form and requires a little training to understand properly.

"...serious kudos to you. We love your straight talk, pertinent information and plain language. I don't know how many industries have something of jWAG's caliber available, but I learn from the emails every day. Really, really nice work, and very appreciated."
-Cheryl Herrick, Global Pathways Jewelry


BEHIND THE SCENES
jWAG is Free!


There's a lot of good SEO training stuff out there, but we're the only website who use jewelry terms in our examples...

jWAG is the research and training department of JewelerWebsites.com, and we provide our online training for free. No scam, no gimmick, everything you read on jWAG is the same SEO and online marketing techniques that we provide our paying customers.

Our Daily Golden Nugget email subscribers are occasionally offered free services so we can evaluate new SEO techniques and emerging web technologies.

A typical SEO firm will request you fill out a "quote form" before they tell you exactly what they do for you or their price. We know that many of you guys--our readers from the jewelry industry--are cautious about your technology investments and media buying. This is why we've created jWAG, to help you learn a little and understand what it takes to have a successful jewelry website and online marketing.

With a little SEO knowledge you can better evaluate any SEO firm before hiring them.

Will you have time to do this yourself? Maybe not, but feel free to hire your own in-house web person and give them the job of reading and using jWAG. That will be much less expensive than hiring us or someone else.

We try to write everything on jWAG so you can easily follow without too much geek speak. All our examples are written using jewelry lexicon so you can use them directly or copy the techniques directly without rethinking. We hope it's a great time saver.

If you do decide to throw up your hands and give up we'd hope you give us a call, but before you do, make sure to check out your options from your POS company because they might have an easy beginner website. Another beginner website could come from one of your jewelry vendors.

When you are ready to use the power of jWAG you should just call JewelerWebsites.com or do a Google search for "jewelry website design" for the other experts in the jewelry website design industry.
