It's all going to depend on your CMS, but if you are looking to understand what is being referenced, right click on a page on your site and select view source, the search for meta. The meta property description is what should be there (almost all CMS's allow you to edit this). Your page title should be much shorter, and you shouldn't have multiple pages with the same title. Again, nearly every CMS makes this very easy to edit.

Hi,
If you want to add a sort of meta description template then you'll have to use a plugin, or use some php to create your meta description in the head. Like using your page title and category - "We've got all the news on category, read post title on website name"
But what actually happens in SERPs when you have no description is the section of your page which contains the keyword is used as the description, giving you another eye-catching bolded keyword. Will those uniform meta descriptions templates help your click through rate as much as a bolded keyword, which you know the searcher has typed into the search bar? Probably not.
You should focus your efforts on your highest performing pages and add unique meta descriptions enticing searchers to click through to your site, working your way through to pages which perform less well. Try using a spider such as Screaming Frog to crawl your site and show you the titles and descriptions of all your pages together. It has a nice little tool built in to preview what your page would look like in Google SERPs, and you can get a feel for what a searcher will see.
Hope that helps,
Tom

i mean to ask that how to remove Missing Meta Description from multiple of pages( thousand of pages). This is dynamic pages of issues, so how can put meta description thousand of pages simultaneously?

Hi there,
Missing meta descriptions mean your pages do not include the meta description tag, or it's empty. Depending on which CMS you’re using you could find a plugin to help you quickly add titles and descriptions to pages. If you’re using wordpress as many people are then Yoast will be your best bet, as it’s bulk title and description editor will let you quickly fix these issues: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/
You will be able to find plugins for different content management systems which do the same thing with a quick Google.
If your site is made up of static pages you’ll need to add a unique meta description to each page, remembering it should be below 160 characters to fit neatly underneath your page title in SERPs, like this:

Hope that helps,

Crawl Diagnostics Updates
I have several page types on my sites that I have blocked using the robots.txt file (ex: emailafriend.asp, shoppingcart.asp, login.asp), but they are still showing up in crawl diagnostics as issues (ex: duplicate page content, duplicate title tag, etc). Is there a way to filter these issues or perhaps there is something I'm doing wrong resulting in the issues that are showing up? Ryan

Issue with old sitemap
Hi Quite new to SeoMoz so some learning curve but we have one issue on a site perhaps someone can advise on? We have many duplicate page titles / content, we think this was due to a corrupt sitemap.xml file, all of the URL's look like this with an odd page at the end http://www.totalpetsupplies.co.uk/problem.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/animals/Cat_Accessories_Pet_Collars/privacy.aspx So that XML map was removed well over a week ago, the new sitemap is an apsx generated one to get all pages correctly show as www.totalpetsuppies.co.uk/sitemap.aspx. Goolge and Bing have that. SeoMoz re did our site and the errors went up a bit!! Not sure how that process works, anyone any suggestions? Cheers Shaun

On Page Reports - Multiple URLs Appearing for a Keyword
Hello, I have a question regarding the on page reports automatically generated by seomoz When I look at my on page reports I notice that each keyword appears a number of times, each with a different url and then a grade for the on page report and sometimes a rank. I'm not sure I understand this, firstly I thought the on page reports were only generated for keywords in the top 50, does that mean the global top 50, or my top 50? Also why are they appearing for so many urls, I find this confusing and am not sure which pages to focus on improving, it's not always my intended pages that are ranking the best. I believe that I read somewhere that I can choose which pages to have the on page reports rank for, perhaps this is the solution? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Iain

On-Page Report Card is lacking
To SEOMOZ Developers: All my pages score A's in the On-Page Report Card, yet most are not indexed in the top 50 positions for Google!!! Don't you think there are other factors you're not considering when giving out A's? In other words, a page should not be awarded an A when it's not in top 50 ranking positions. That's seems to be a flaw in the Optimization Reports. There must be something my page is missing, but you are not pointing it out. Shouldn't your "A" requirements be more aligned with Google's ranking algorithms? In other words, most pages awarded A's should be found to be ranked in the top 50. And, most pages not ranked in the top 50 should recieve F's because they don't meet Google's ranking requirements. In other words, you should model your report card more closely to Google's ranking. Here's an example: Keyword: "enterprise time management" Page: www.stdtime.com/enterprise-time-management.htm

Why that many Crawl Diagnostics errors, false?
Hi, my fist question, trying to understand how seomoz pro works. I have about 680 crawl erros, but when I check the details, I found this: 1. many 403 errors ( I think from all links). > I have tested my web site (telcelsolcom.com) in other tools and all says OK 200 response. 2. many title and content duplicates, but the system is showing as duplicated pages with and without the www. > I have a 301 redirect from non www to with www and it is working ok. Do I have false errors? What am I doing wrong? thanks.
