Meta description checker: missing and duplicate descriptions

The meta description is your pitch under the link in search results. Google doesn't always use it, but when it's missing it has to improvise. ShipPatrol checks every page.

Why it matters

A good description can make the difference between a click and a scroll past. Duplicates across pages tell Google the pages aren't really different.

How Patch checks

We read the meta description of each page after rendering and flag empty ones and duplicates.

How to fix it

Write a one- or two-sentence description for each page that says what the visitor will find.
Keep each one unique.

Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.
