METADATA DESCRIPTION
-
Hi All
I have a metadata issue. My site crawl is coming back with missing descriptions, but all of the pages look like having descriptions
<meta property="og:description" content="תפריט BBB כיכר רבין" />
Has anyone ever saw a similar problem and have an idea of what is wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
The meta description is very important for SEO. It sums up your page content. Your page will receive more clicks with this meta tag.
If you use WordPress, you should install SEO plugins like Yoast to add and manage meta descriptions.
Title and meta description tags are the best places to add important keywords.

That specific meta data tag is for Facebook. There's a good chance if that issue is showing in your audit then you may not have a meta description present.
You can always manually look at the source code for this tag: "<meta name="description".
I wouldn't stress about it too much updating meta descriptions is usually low priority item.
Best of luck!

If you use canonicals do the meta descriptions need to be different?
For example, we have 3 different subsites with the same pages. We will put canonicals so they reference the main pages. Do the meta descriptions have to be different for each of the three pages? How does Google handle meta data when using canonicals?

Taking descriptions from Manufacturer sites and Duplicate content
We are doing some inventory improvements eg new photographs from various angles, etc. We are also writing descriptions for each product.. As one of our suppliers has perfect desriptions on their site what is the theory on how duplicate content will affect our ranking for these products if we copy and paste? Also if we change the descriptions, just how different do they need to be? Thanks
