How Do I Add Meta Description to My WordPress Homepage Yoast?

Adding a meta description to your WordPress homepage can help you improve click-through rates (CTRs) and SERPS visibility.

To add a meta description to your WordPress homepage, follow these steps:

1. Go to your dashboard and click on “Settings” in the menu bar.

2. In the “Settings” screen, click on the “General” tab.

3. Under the “Heading & Title” heading, click on the “Add meta description” button.

4. In the “Meta Description” box, type a brief, compelling description of your site.

5. Click on the “Save Changes” button.

6. Your meta description will now appear in the “Heading & Title” section of your WordPress homepage, below the title of your blog.

7. To test whether your meta description is working correctly, click on the “Page Info” tab on the left-hand side of your blog’s main page.

8. In the “Page Info” tab, under the “Description” heading, you will see the text of your meta description.

If it’s not appearing correctly, please make sure that it’s set to “Readable” and that it’s longer than 80 characters.

9. Finally, if you want to make your meta description more visible on your WordPress site, you can add it to your Google search engine optimization (SEO) settings.

To do this, go to your Google AdWords account and click on “Campaigns” in the left-hand side menu. Under the “Search Engine Optimization” heading, click on the “Manage Search Engine Optimization” link.

In the “Search Engine Optimization” screen, under the “Meta Description” heading, enter your meta description in the “Description” box. You can also add a keyword phrase to your meta description, if you want.
