Why isn't Moz recognizing meta description tags using SLIM?

[sudonim]

Hey All,

I keep getting reports from Moz that many of my pages are missing meta description tags. We use SLIM for our website, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue getting Moz to recognize that the meta descriptions exist.

We have a default layout that we incorporate into every page on our site. In the head of that layout, we've included our meta description parameters:

meta description ='#{current_page.data.description}'

Then each page has its own description, which is recognized by the source code

Any ideas why Moz still isn't recognizing that we have meta descriptions?

After you fix it you can ask google to fetch the page in WMT if you need a sooner update but if you wait they will re craw it fast too.

Thanks Spencer!

Still have to wait for next week's crawl to be sure, but that seems to have fixed it

It's because your meta descriptions are improperly formatted.

Yours are formatted like:

description="We make it easy to send emails triggered by user behavior. Build, measure and improve your emails to activate and retain users" />

but they should be like:
