Duplicate Meta Description Fix

Status: Complete Project: SEO

What this is

Fix for a GSC-flagged issue where 7 pages across 3 groups had duplicate meta descriptions. Duplicate metas hurt CTR because Google may show the same description on SERPs for different pages, making them look like templates. Also flagged by Semrush and Screaming Frog.

The fix

7 pages, 3 groups of duplicates. Each group got a unique meta description per page that still accurately described the page's content. RankMath was the source of truth for meta descriptions, so fixes happened via the RankMath REST endpoint rather than page-body edits.

Two separate Notion entries cover the same fix with slightly different framing — likely a duplicate of the same session, not two separate fixes.
