    Add a meta description. Best way for you is probably use an SEO plugin.

    Just use the plugin and you wont have to worry about it. But it would normally be in the header.php

    installing "All in one SEO pack" makes it much easier! You can even add different meta description tags to every post or pages.

    Thanks, I have added the all in one SEO pack.
    But it seems like google is not even able to index the content in my pages.
    The searches only comes with the title and no content.

    Does this have to do with my wordpress theme?

    Thanks

    Hello, the source of your problem is "robots.txt", if you have it in your root folder, then delete the contents of it

    Just did a check and it's is now Preventing all the robots to enter

    User-agent: *
    Disallow:

    I think this Matt Cutts explains it very well, it is exactly your problem.
