Why this prompt works

Meta descriptions don't directly rank, but they drive click-through, which does matter. This prompt keeps each option inside Google's display limit and varies the angle so you can pick the one most likely to win the click against competing results.

How to customize it

Keep them at ~155 characters so Google doesn't truncate them.
Pick the angle that matches searcher mindset for that keyword.
Rewrite descriptions on pages with high impressions but low CTR.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
