Meta description

[chippyb]

I have just one little kind of random question really about meta and google, in your meta description I have 10,000 writting in it like that, but when the description shows up on google it has missed the comma and just shows 10000, do I have to use the html for the comma sign in my meta tag? or is this something that google just does?
Thanks

From the results I've seen, it looks like Google removes all commas in the SERPs if placed between numbers.

It actually depends on what CMS or website editor you're using in making your website or your HTML codes. It's not Google who's actually deleting the comma, it's maybe the platform you used.

Check in the source code of the page, you will see there if it is the page or Google removing it

its still in my source code when I look at my page online, is there and can I use the html tag for a comma instead?

Google removes commas from numbers in all titles and descriptions. Clearest example of this is if you simply search for "10,000" in Google.

It also removes if you make it 10-000
