Will MOZ be updating there tools with regards to the new Meta Description length?

[lbagley]

Now that Google has increased the number of characters allowed for meta descriptions/snippets when will MOZ be updating the tools to cater for the new lengths?

I'm sure a lot of my Meta descriptions that are being flagged as too long with disappear once updated.

Hi Eli,

Thank you for the update. My OCD is kicking in with 1000s of meta descriptions highlighted as being too long. Hoping when it is updated that most will go away

Haha!

I do have another option which may help in the interim if it works within your SEO strategy. Because they are all of the same type and if you're confident that you don't need to know about any of them, you can ignore the issue type in your campaign.
