First impressions are important, especially when it comes to tools. Actor descriptions are the first connections the potential users have with your Actor. You can set two kinds of descriptions: _regular description_ (in Apify Store) and _SEO description_ (on Google search), along with their respective names: regular name and SEO name.

_SEO description (and SEO name)_ is targeting a “cold” potential user who knows nothing about your tool yet and just came across it on Google search. They’re searching to solve a problem or use case. The goal of the meta description is to convince that visitor to click on your tool's page among other similar search results on Google. While it's shorter, SEO description is also the space to SEO-optimize your language to the max to attract the most matching search intent.

_Description (and name)_ is targeting a “warm” potential user who is already curious about your tool. They have clicked on the tool's page and have a few seconds to understand how complex the tool is and what it can do for them. Here you can forget SEO optimization and speak directly to the user. The regular description also has a longer character limit, which means you can expand on your Actor’s features.

Yes, they can, as long as they have the same (shorter) length (under 150 characters). But they can also be different, there's no harm in that.

They can be vastly different and target different angles of your Actor. You can experiment by setting up different SEO descriptions for a period of time and seeing if the click-through rate rises.
