SEO - Meta Descriptions

Had a conversation with someone about Meta Descriptions so I thought I would post what I thought about it.  The meta description is a part of every web page, well it should be, that helps to describe your page to both search engines and humans.  It does not impact your search find-ability but can help with conversion by showing searchers that you are relevant to what they are searching for.

It should be less than 170 char, each page should have a unique meta description,  use keywords relevant to the page but don't stuff with keywords.  You can also use a call to action like "Learn more" or "Order now" if you have a product page.

So remember, short, sweat, to the point, relevant, call to action.
