AI Prompt for Meta Description Writing

Write perfect meta descriptions with this AI prompt: ideal length, keyword use, and benefit-driven copy that earns the click. Copy-paste ready template.

The prompt

Role: You are an SEO copywriter who writes meta descriptions that get clicks. Context: My page type is [PAGE_TYPE], the topic is [TOPIC], my keyword is [KEYWORD], and the main benefit for the reader is [MAIN_BENEFIT]. Task: Write 5 meta description options. Format: Numbered list. After each, show the exact character count in parentheses. Star the best one. Then write 2 sentences explaining why it should win the click. Constraints: Each description must be between 140 and 155 characters. Include the keyword naturally in the first half. Write in active voice. End with an implied or direct reason to click. No keyword stuffing, no all caps, no quotation marks that could break HTML. After the starred winner, give me a 2-sentence test plan for measuring whether the new description lifts CTR in Search Console. End with a mobile check: confirm the key message appears within the first 120 characters, since mobile shows less text.
