How to add a meta description in Webflow

Webflow has a meta description field in each page's SEO settings.

Steps

1. Open the Pages panel and choose the page's settings.
2. In the SEO settings, fill in the meta description, aiming for about 150 characters.
3. For collection pages, use the template's SEO settings and add fields from the CMS item so each page gets its own text.
4. Publish the site.
