SEO Title – How to do it in Rank Math?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

1. Change the SEO Meta Title and Meta Description with the help of Rank Math:
<u>Add a Meta Description in Classic Editor:</u>

<u>Add title and description in Gutenberg:</u>

Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if the Schema Markup module is enabled on your website:

To reiterate, the Schema title must show %seo_title% and the description should show %seo_description% – this will ensure your SEO title and SEO Description that you set up via Rank Math can also be used for your Schema details.

2. You can see the preview after changing and saving the description and title.

3. Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/description for your search keyword, there is nothing you can do as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.

Here are some of the common reasons Google might not use the meta description you provided:
– The meta description is not relevant or useful (ie, just a collection of keywords).
– The exact same meta description is provided across a large number of pages.
– The meta description doesn’t match what the user is searching for, but other content on the page does.

There is a whole article dedicated to this on SearchEngineJournal:

Here is an example showing Google changes title depending on the keyword used:

The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.
