      each page on my website represents a different department, can I program the header to show a different meta description on each page or should there only be 1 meta description tag per domain?

        "Avoid Duplicate Meta Description Tags
        As with title tags, it is important that meta descriptions on each page be unique. One way to combat duplicate meta descriptions is to create a dynamic and programmatic way to make unique meta descriptions for automated pages."
        https://moz.com/learn/seo/meta-description

        So you should create different meta descriptions for all pages.

          Always remember to do attractive messages, learn from the best CTR results you have for do interesting dinamic descriptions.

            thanks for your responses but it is not really answering my questions so I will rephrase it:

            this is my website www.nynjmovers.com

            I have a "local_movers.php" page and a "long_distance_movers.php" page as well as a "storage.php" page.

            can I have 3 different meta description tags (one on each page) with different texts or is it prohibited?

            if I have 15 pages , can I use 15 different description tags (one on each page) - all under the same domain?

            I hope that the question is more clear now

              Yes - each page CAN have different meta description with different text. This isn't prohibited.

              This is REQUIRED!

              https://moz.com/learn/seo/meta-description

              Also you can go in Google SearchConsole:
              https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/html-suggestions?hl=en
              and see do you have "Duplicate meta descriptions" and link to them.
