Did I get your attention or Not? Well, That was the same thing I did to my "Meta Description" Instead of having it filled with loads of text that describes the page vistors about to click.

I have " .......... " to trick them into clicking the link to read more.

So, Come up with 1-2 lines then instead of completing the actionable part of the "Meta Description" complete it with "Dots".First, it makes it seem the text get shrink by Google & Second, It has helped tremendously improve my CTR on different Trials.

I bet it will help you as well.

Do I have to fill meta description with dots? With no words at all?

No you will put some text up first, Wait till you’re getting their attention then introduce ........... That would make them want to read more and indirectly increase your CTR .

Will it not be smarter to just make your meta description a bit longer?!
