Ranks. How to check and view snippets.

A snippet is a short description of a web page presented in SERP. Snippets tells users what the page is about so that they decide whether to open the website or not.

A snippet consists of URL, title and description. Title usually equals to the page title tag, and a description is generated by search engine based on the description tag of the page and its content. Snippets help users to decide whether the page would be useful for them, or immediately find the necessary information in the snippet block.

Snippets checker allows to:

• see what snippet is displayed in SERP by keyword;
• compare snippets by different search engines, locations, devices, as well as snippets of your website and competitors;
• find a pattern in websites' ranks and their snippets;
• view how many users visited website and what snippet was more clickable.
