Why Pages Need a Meta Description for AI Search
Some of your pages have no short description. A description gives an AI tool a ready-made summary of the page, in your words, instead of leaving it to invent one.
In your report
Pages have no description
What this means
Each page can carry a hidden one or two sentence summary, called a meta description. It is the grey text under the title in search results.
This problem counts the pages that have none.
Why it matters for AI
A description is your own summary of the page. Without it, an AI tool makes one up from whatever text it finds first, which may be a menu or a cookie notice.
