In the daily use of AnQi CMS,descriptionField is a seemingly insignificant but extremely important part.It is not just a brief summary of the content, but also a bridge of communication between the website content, search engines, and users.An meticulously written description that can effectively enhance the click-through rate of the article in search results and help search engines better understand the content theme.

According to the documentation of AnQi CMS, when publishing or importing documents (archive),descriptionthere is a clear suggestion for the field:“250 words within”.This limitation usually refers to the number of characters, not the pure number of Chinese characters, as punctuation marks and spaces also occupy positions.This means we have about 250 characters of space to condense the core idea of the article.

This word limit is not arbitrarily set, it is closely related to the display mechanism of search engines.Most mainstream search engines usually extract about 150-160 characters as the description content when displaying search results.Although the Aanqi CMS provides 250 characters of space, in actual search results, users may only see a part of it.Therefore, how to convey information efficiently within a limited space is particularly crucial.

What strategies should we follow when creating this 250-character content?

  • Concise summary of core content:The description should be the essence of the article, a few sentences can make the reader understand the theme and main points of the article. Avoid using long and irrelevant words, and strive for brevity and clarity.
  • Naturally integrate keywords:Include the core keywords of the article naturally in the description.This helps search engines understand the content of the article and match it with relevant search queries, but remember to avoid keyword stuffing to prevent being penalized by search engines as cheating.
  • Attract users to click:Description is not only for search engines, but also for users.It should be able to stimulate the reader's interest, making them have the urge to click on the article to read further.It is appropriate to add questions, phrases that provoke thought, or emphasize the unique value and problems solved by the article.
  • Highlight unique selling points of content:If the article has a unique perspective, exclusive data, innovative viewpoints, or practical solutions, be sure to briefly mention them in the description to make it stand out among similar search results.
  • Each page should be independent:Try to write a unique description for each document, even if the content is similar, it should be summarized from different perspectives to highlight the differences.Repeated descriptions are不利于搜索引擎优化。English

At the same time, there are some common misconceptions that we need to be aware of and avoid:

  • Copy the beginning of the text:Directly copying the first paragraph of the article's main content is a common lazy behavior, but this method often cannot achieve good summary and attraction because it may contain transitional sentences or information that is not highly relevant to the core content.
  • Keyword stuffing:Overusing keywords not only affects the user's reading experience, making the description sound rigid and unnatural, but may also lead to penalties from search engines, reducing the ranking of the website.
  • Too short or vague:Description information is too little, unable to effectively convey the content, and also misses the opportunity to attract users. If users cannot understand the value of the article in a short time, they are likely to skip it directly.
  • Description does not match content:If the description differs greatly from the actual content of the article, it may mislead users, leading to a high bounce rate, thus damaging the reputation of the website and user experience.

It is worth mentioning that in AnQi CMS, both categories (category) and tags (tag) are available.descriptionField.Although the document does not explicitly specify the character limit for these fields, from the perspective of content operation, it still adheres to the same principles of writing concise and informative descriptions for the document.This description helps users and search engines understand the content scope covered by the category or tag, enhancing overall navigation and search efficiency.The control should generally be within 100-200 characters to be a relatively safe range, which can explain the problem without being too long.
