The meta description is usually placed after the title tag and before the meta keywords tag.

    The meta description is one of the fundamental elements of referencing a website. Previously, its content was used by search engine indexing robots to reference websites. Having a meta description of quality thus allowed to improve its position in the results offered to Internet users by the search engines. Today, it is mainly used to encourage the user to click on the link of the website, summarizing the content that awaits.
