Why This Matters

LLM Discoverability

Meta description length has no bearing on AI crawling, but descriptions within the optimal range are more likely to be used verbatim in SERP snippets that AI-overview systems pull from.

SEO Impact

Descriptions between 70–160 characters are typically displayed in full in Google snippets; outside this range they are either too brief to be informative or truncated, wasting the opportunity.
