    I don't understand very well well your question but:

    meta tags, have a little effect on SEO, especially Google.
    that's not mean neglect them,

    but, For me, the first purpose for meta tags is "give search engine users an idea of what your site is talking about"

    Meta tags like meta description and meta keywords does not have a significant or any impact on search engines rankings, especially in Google. Nevertheless a good description can act as a effective sales copy for your website. It plays a pivotal role in getting increasing the click through that your website received.

    Make the most of it.

    Though meta keywords tag and meta description tags are not the main factor search engines consider when ranking sites, they should not be left off the page. A meta description tag is supposed to be a brief and concise summary of your page's content.

    Hello,
    Yes the meta descriopcion could be a summary of your body content, if you write the meta desription, google will use it to show the information in the search engine, it is not going to help to improve your ranking but it could help to get more traffic, if you write something cool in the meta description or a correct descrption of your products or services it could get more clicks => traffic. Do you understad me idea ?
