Description

A description is a summary that explains the action the user wants to do.

Description

Descriptions are an optional element that goes under the Title. They should start with key words and help the user decide to read further.

You have up to 110 characters. Don’t reuse words from the title.

While optional, it's recommended to use this with keywords or acronyms not used in the title, so search engines will find your content.

Descriptions often show up in search results, so explain why someone should open that page.
