What is Meta description?
The meta description is the two-line summary shown under your title in Google's results. It is not a ranking factor — writing a better one will not move you up — but it decides how many people click the result you already have, which is a different and equally useful thing. Keep it around 150 to 160 characters, write it like ad copy rather than a summary, and include whatever removes hesitation: the price, the area you cover, the delivery time. Leave it blank and Google pulls a sentence off the page, usually the wrong one.
What does Meta description mean for a business in Pakistan?
Putting a rupee figure in the description is the single biggest click difference we see for Pakistani service businesses, because price is the first question and most competitors hide it. Naming WhatsApp helps too — people here would rather message than fill a form, and saying so in the snippet tells them the next step before they even click through.
