Where do the descriptions which appear in the Google and other Search Engine listings come from?
I understood they were supposed to use the description meta tag, but this doesn’t seem consistent.
Today, I noticed Google’s listing picked descriptions from the 1st paragraph of my posts, including any alt tags on images I was using. In one case, this placed the name of the person in the image as the 1st words in Google’s listing entry. Not very helpful to potential readers in this case.
So I’ve altered the alt tag to place the primary keyword first in the alt tag – “studio monitor solutions from Dave Johnstone”. This should help the reader quickly see what the main topics is, and who the info source is.
We’ll see if it works.
