After more than 13 years, and tens of thousands of questions, Moz Q&A closed on 12th December 2024. Whilst we’re not completely removing the content - many posts will still be possible to view - we have locked both new posts and new replies. More details here.
Is there a way to download a report showing all meta descriptions for our web pages?

I see how to look at data for web pages with meta descriptions that have been flagged as being less than optimal. Is there a way to do a complete download of the meta descriptions on all our pages? (good meta as well as not so good) Thanks! Lydia

Absolutely, there are a few ways you can gather meta descriptions for your web pages. One method involves using tools like Screaming Frog or Sitebulb, which crawl your site and generate reports containing various SEO-related information, including meta descriptions. These tools can export reports in different formats like CSV or Excel, allowing you to analyze and review your meta descriptions easily.
Alternatively, if you have access to your website's backend or content management system (CMS), you might be able to extract meta descriptions directly from there, either through built-in reporting features or by exporting the necessary data.
Would you like more specific guidance on using any particular tool or method?

Hi Lydia - Dave from Moz support here.
If you have a Site Crawl or On Demand Crawl of your site. You can export a CSV of your "All Crawled Pages". This will include a column of Meta Descriptions for each page crawled. This export will also include information of other data that we report on.
We hope that helps, if you have further questions on this, feel free to reach out to help@moz.com.
Thanks!

Hey Lydia!
You can simply perform a site crawl using using Screaming Frog. From there, you can select the "Meta Descriptions" tab and click "Export" which should provide you with all of your site' meta descriptions.
