Question

What needs to be passed in page so that google takes description properly. when i search a page in google. it takes the data in page as description not description tag contents

Answer 1

It depends on what you are using to build your site. Wordpress, for instance, doesn't come with meta description functionality by default. You would need to use a plugin.

Google will use your description only if it contains the keyword been searched for, and if it confirms that the meta description supplied accurately describes the content of the page.

Answer 2

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $your_meta_description ?>" />
