hello in this lecture we'll talk about the descriptions so meta descriptions they are not a ranking factor in my case studies a few times i have used duplicate descriptions i have used empty descriptions or missing descriptions i didn't see any harm but when it comes to using them in a useful way for reflecting your overall topicality you should understand one thing descriptions are summaries of your article according to the search engines in my descriptions most of the time i repeat my title with slightly different versions and i continue to expand them further nothing here is random first of all here we talk about best language courses and courses is a kind of similar or alternate of schools then we add attributes price duration then we add languages which is instances of this specific class german english french which are the most probable candidates then we add another attribute here which is free section because price is usually the most important service attribute then here we add advantages of these things which is connected to price one more time then we add the visa why the visa is at the end because meta descriptions for us we include context terms and topical entries and at the same time we directly give the summary of our article if i write best language courses here just after my title i will add the summary of the article and at the same time i will add the summary of the title which means that there will be a heading for this and it will be coming first if i process the free courses here which means that it will be coming after these specific languages whatever i put my document i reflect them in order also inside my descriptions too the best thing that you can do to communicate with a search engine with a complex adaptive system is create a template a pattern and make the search engine recognize that pattern do it consistently eventually search engine will realize your urls that will be in the search engine will be in the search engine structure too and visa is at the end because i also have language visa article somewhere here maybe you see it already but the thing here is that if i have a language visa related article which means that i can't put visa to the beginning because it will be a micro context here and macro context is mainly language schools and courses micro context will be actual visa and from here we will be putting actually internal link visa will be at the end here and when it comes to language language wizard the courses or language schools they will be the macro context so they will be interchangeably they will be linking each other we always have a macro context and specific micro contexts and usually we reflect or distribute these things in the main content in the supplementary content as well in the next lecture actually we will talk about the main content and supplementary content and ads a little bit further if i but before that let's check a few more descriptions description examples here for example when we talk about life in germany we use the word expenses and in this case which is a synonym of the cost and then we also go with the average life expectancy which is a pass which is a member to the condition set and we have cost of rent which we go deeper for the cost then accommodation which is a synonym for rent than floating market or the market expenses work opportunities is at the bottom because we also have working visa and job opportunities here and we also as you see we have one more breakdown here as the work and the job opportunities because when you look at the job opportunities we are actually competing against certain type of other websites and that's why in the future we might need to expand it in a different way that's why i have put actually a new segment here because the success or failure of this specific node it won't be affecting this or this section that much and in the future in case we have a kind of budget i planned that this section would go even further and in this part here you see that work opportunities and we will talk about here actually immigration working visa and job postings or job opportunities as well transportation education are here too which will be reflecting again our micro context whatever we process in our title title tag it comes first then we expand it then we put our micro context here and sometimes i use check marks or ticks to affect the look a little bit further but they actually get more space but again you can use these type of things it doesn't have to always be a sentence sometimes i even don't use the exceptions as i say especially if the article is really long i am doing it because i want to change in the show the most relevant part from my web page if i use the description sometimes it doesn't happen but if i distribute it in this way it's actually way much easier in the next lecture we will talk about macro micro context and main and the supplementary content a little bit more thank you
