ASA Stats shows the current value of all assets located in any Algorand account.
This is not true, as it shows all assets associated with an Algorand account regardless of its location.

This is the description in the meta tag of the site. It's what shows up in search engines and in previews here in Discord and probably other chat platforms when pasting links.

Maybe this needs to be expanded further to really stand out from the others.

ASA Stats shows the current value of all assets associated with any Algorand account, including assets that are locked away in staking pools, liquidity pools, lending/borrowing, etc..

I'm not 100% on the wording but I think including this kind of info will be useful and should be listed. This is what ASA Stats is all about, it should be up front.

The following provide an introduction to Meta Tags and propose an update.

What is a meta description?

The meta description is an HTML tag you can set for a post or page of your website. In it, you can describe what your page is about.

Characteristics of a good meta description

• Characters Count: The right length doesn’t really exist. Recommend descriptions between 50 and 160 characters
• Use active voice and make it actionable
• Include a call-to-action
• Show specifications, where possible Target visitors specifically looking for that product
• Make sure it matches the content of the page: ASA Stats About page
• Use your focus keyword If the search keyword matches a part of the text in the meta description, Google will be more inclined to use it and highlight it in the search results.

Please enter any term in the search box at Google (https://www.google.com) and scroll down the page that opens.

Every row is consisting of three items:

a) link

That's "https://www.asastats.com" in our case

b) Title

That's (currently) "ASA Stats" for the root page of our site

c) Description

That's what we need. #36 (comment)

@ipaleka @SCN9A, based on previous comments, and after taking the highlighted keywords and other prerequisites into consideration. I came up with another draft for the meta description:

The ASA Stats portfolio tracker displays the current value of ALL assets (ALGO, ASA, NFT) associated with your Algorand account in real time, including assets held in staking pools, liquidity pools, lending and borrowing protocols, among others. 

Does this suit the purpose better?
