just saw a report from @sejournal and @martinibuster that google officially confirmed meta descriptions are
not required for seo. even tho they don't impact rankings, they still matter because they can influence your click-thru rate. it's basically abt the
user experience and how enticing your snippet looks in the results.
it's a waste of time if you're only doing it for rank boosts but worth the effort to grab attention. does anyone here still spend much time custom writing these for every single local page? or are you all just letting google auto-generate them now?
