Best Practice SEO dictates that you need good meta information as it is essential for SEO. Two tags to focus on are title tags and meta descriptions. Make sure they are descriptive and most importantly, relevant to the content on the website.
If you do have duplicate meta descriptions on your website, you will most likely get a warning in Google Webmaster Tools. Take this as a gentle nudge towards getting into the good habit of having a unique description for each page. After all, this is the summary snippet underneath your link on the search engine results page. The rule of thumb is to keep these under 150 characters in order to have the full sentence visible on the SERP.

Recently one of our clients came to us for advice on duplicate content. Running a travel company, they wanted to create a separate site for information specifically on one area of travel. This site will contain duplicate content in terms of having the same travel schedules.
This led us to think about the issue of Duplicate Content and whether or not this will affect SEO. The official advice from Google seems quite straightforward – don’t try to deceive search engines.
In terms of copying some of the same content into two different domains, we advised the client to keep each site unique and relevant. Spending that extra bit of time making sure that your site has the best content for their target audience will mean that you won’t even need to worry about penalties for duplicate content.
