Meta Description:
The meta description is the small piece of descriptive content which is displayed below the URL on the SERP. When you are writing the meta description, you should write for the users and not for the search engines. You may have the keywords in it, but make sure you provide the data what the users are looking for. Meta descriptions should not exceed 160 characters.
When it comes to the URL optimization, make sure you don’t have unnecessary characters in the URL. Also, keep the URL short and sweet. Don’t have too lengthy urls with many words. Having the target keywords on the URL is always the best practice for SEO.
