On Page Grader - We have keyword in Meta Description But does not show up

[Manifestation]

The on-page grader is not counting/picking up the keyword in the meta description.

We have double checked the meta description and re-uploaded the page, and checked the source code on-line.

The keyword is there in meta description, but not showing up in on-page-grader.

keyword buy first trust deeds

[Kara.Wallace]

Hi David,

In looking at your source, it looks like your meta description is, "Buy Trust Deeds from Trimark Funding Inc. - Buy Trust Deeds for High 9% Annual Returns - Consistent Monthly Income."

The keyword is in the meta keywords tag, but not in the meta description tag.

Hope this helps.

Mike

Mike's absolutely right. More importantly (and no offense) that is a terrible description line.

I would worry more about readability and less about keyword stuffing in your meta description. This is the second line that's going to get someone to click on your link instead of everyone else's.

Try and think of how it will look on a SERP instead of what keywords it has. Think about why you would click your link instead of some other link. That's the most important factor in this particular line of code, if you ask me.

You can have the best organic placement possible but if your site looks spammy and boring you won't get the clickthroughs you want.

Good luck!

Thanks for pointing out what we all missed here ... sometimes working long hours results in missing the easy mistakes.

Appreciate your pointing out the spamminess of the description. All of the page description are being revised.
