Even Matt Cutts agrees that Description is important part of On-page to increase CTR & ranking. Optimized Meta description can increase ROI of a website.

Proper integration of schema helps search engine to understand your data and manage in SERP. There are different micro data schema standard according to the need. Some of the data are for Person, product, events, organization, movies, book, and reviews. I recommend a WordPress plugin for Schema. Open Graph Tags: This is the future of visual search engines and in the new age of semantic search, social relevance will weigh more in the search results. To help this, your website and its content should have the same usability, or in more lay conditions “Speak the same language”, as social media networks.
