Hello Rank Math Team This Is Amit Kukreja Here In the past, I have Reported Many were Times That Rank Math Isn’t Showing Perfect Meta Description On Google Search Results Because As Shown In the 1st Screenshot [Attaching the Screen recording Link In Sensitive Data] it’s Not Showing the Correct Meta Description But If I Open That Post and Check the Post By Editing it or Checking Via Inspect also It’s Showing Correct Meta Description Its Issue Of Rank Math Because I haven’t Seen this Issue While I was Using Yoast SEO Earlier. It’s Sad To See Even after 1 to 2 Months of Updates It hasn’t fixed Because there was Another [B Website] on That Website also I Have Faced this issue Earlier Maybe around April Or May Till June I was using Rank Math But After So Much Frustration I have to switch back on Yoast For [B Website] and I was very excited about Pro Version but after seeing these issues I am Very Much Disappointed. And Now Rank Math Is Moving For Pro Version I Would request First Make Sure To fix These Issue and Also Check Sensitive Data Box

Hello Amit,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Thank you for getting in touch with us.The description is correctly set by rank math as you have already confirmed by checking the page source.
You can use this tool for the same as well: https://www.heymeta.com/
This means Rank math is adding the correct meta to your pages and the issue is not coming coming from Rank math.
Please check if Google has seen your meta changes already or not. For that, please check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
a.
b.
If the cache date is from before adding the new meta description, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. If the date is after you made the changes,
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.The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

Hello,
We understand if you believe this issue is due to Rank Math but if you search Google, you will see people have this issue with Yoast as well:
In fact, Google rewrites meta description 70% of the times on ALL websites, regardless of how they are built:

Hello,
1. First of all, I am assuming that you have already changed the SEO Meta Title and Meta Description with the help of Rank Math:
Add a Meta Description in Classic Editor:Add title and description in Gutenberg:
2. Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if Rich Snippets are 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:
3. The next step is to check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:
