Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you for your answer, Donna! I actually believe it was a coding issue

Yoast was coding the descriptions as meta property="og:description" only. It looks like Moz and many other tools only consider meta name="description" as the proper code (even if og:description was included).

If anyone else is having a similar issue, what I had my team do is make sure to amend the autofilled snippets descriptions provided by Yoast (which they should have been doing anyways). Editing the autofilled descriptions adds the meta name="description" HTML needed. No more missing meta description errors!

Hi -- I'm really confused as to why only certain blog categories are not able to be crawled for their descriptions when their source codes look identical to other, crawlable pages on the same site?

Specifically, Moz/other tools are not able to pull a meta description from the page http://www.koonz.com/category/videos/premises-liability-videos (and a few others) - while the source code looks almost identical to http://www.koonz.com/category/videos/federal-torts-claims-act-videos ??

Can anyone shed some light into possible issues for me? Thanks in advance!

Oh, I answered my own question - for anyone interested: https://moz.com/ugc/geolocation-the-ultimate-tip-to-emulate-local-search

Thanks! Are you able to amend this to see local results? I have many clients in different cities, and I would like to see what the local search looks like for them.
