All right, so next one's gonna be trend or trash. So this is is something emerging and gonna be significant or is it just a fad that's gonna phase out and die? And the question is, is AI generated meta description production at scale a trend or trash?
Trash. I have never lost sleep over meta descriptions and for the most part Google rewrites them anyway. So definitely, definitely trash. Wouldn't focus on that.
And now now with that, is it because it's a meta description or more of like that type of application? Like if same question, but we changed meta description to page title, same answer or something different?
Yeah, I'd I would say more trash on the fact that it's it's meta descriptions. I think there is something in, you know, being able to use Gen II to scale things like, you know, title tags um back to our earlier conversation. There's a risk element to that, right? But you can you can definitely use it in those areas, just not on meta descriptions. I wouldn't put any time into those at all.
Well sorry. Third question on this one question is Do you see meta descriptions actually phasing out in the next three years? Like as far as Google doesn't even review them and they are gonna generate something of their own regardless.
Yeah, I I think so. I think if you think about where we're heading with zero click search anyway, and you know, the USP of a meta description was that it would help improve your click through rate from search results. Well, actually that click through rate's on the decline anyway. So yeah, I do think meta descriptions are gonna phase out.
Um I'm right there with ya. I think it's uh we're gonna see it uh in that same category as meta keywords. Well with that, that's gonna wrap up this episode of the Voice of Search Podcast.
