A meta description is a small blurb that appears underneath your website on the SERP. It is designed to provide users with a brief summary of the content on your page so that users know if the page will answer their questions. Traditionally, meta description length has maxed out at 155 characters, with the exception of experimental periods such as when Google temporarily extended the length to 320-character meta descriptions
