  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the SERP description not displaying in Google. Thank you for raising this concern.

    There are several reasons why Google might choose not to use the meta description you’ve set in Rank Math:

    1. Google’s Choice: Sometimes, Google decides to display a different description based on the content of the page or the search query.
    2. Page Not Indexed: Ensure that the latest version of your page has been indexed by Google. You can check this using Google Search Console.
    3. Schema Settings: Make sure your Schema settings are valid and that the Schema Module is enabled in Rank Math. You can check this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Dashboard in your WordPress dashboard.
    4. Content Quality: If the content is deemed low quality or not relevant, Google may opt not to show your specified description.

    To troubleshoot further, please ensure that:

    • You have correctly set the SEO Meta Title and Description using Rank Math.
    • The Schema settings are properly configured.
    • Your page is indexed and crawled by Google.

    Thanks but can you look at the source code?

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    We checked your homepage and some other pages and we can see the robots meta is set to nofollow, index, noarchive, noimageindex, and nosnippet.

    That means Google will not crawl these URLs, will not index any images, and will not show any snippet and meta description.

    In this case, please head over to your WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta and from there make sure the Robots meta is only set to Index:

    You can check the same for your post types and from the Rank Math SEO Meta box Advanced tab.

    Once the posts are set to follow, index, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1, max-image-preview:large, you can manually request on Google Search Console to recrawl the pages: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/ask-google-to-recrawl

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
