How to Add a Meta Description on Lovable
The meta description is the short summary that can appear under your title in search results. It does not directly change rankings, but it influences whether someone clicks your result, and Google sometimes rewrites it to match the search.
The fix on Lovable
Ask your AI builder to "add a meta description to this page" with the exact text you want - most AI site builders can add this when asked directly.
Builder menus change over time. If a label looks different, look for the closest option and check Lovable's help centre.
What to know about Lovable
Generic meta titles and descriptions
Yes, write them yourself
Default titles are usually pulled from your project name, and descriptions are often missing or duplicated across pages.
Why this matters
This is the short text that appears below your title in Google. It does not directly affect rankings, but it is often the deciding factor in whether someone clicks your result over a competitor's.
How to check it worked
- View the page source (Ctrl+U, or Cmd+Option+U on a Mac) and search for name="description".
- Search Google for your page title. If the snippet looks random or cut off, the description is probably missing or poor.
Common questions
How long should a meta description be?
Up to roughly 155 characters. Longer ones are often cut off in results.
Should every page have its own description?
Yes. Copying the same description across many Lovable pages makes results harder to tell apart and wastes the chance to describe each page.
