As you type, the feedback bar will change colors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you begin typing, the bar will turn orange, which indicates that you should use more words to encourage users to click on your link. When the bar changes from orange to green, you have hit the optimal length for your meta description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoast-seo-meta-description-length.jpg\" alt=\"Yoast SEO provides feedback on how to create the optimal meta description.
