    HI – I’ve updated my homepage, but the amendments are not visible on google.
    My homepage comes still up as ‘Site Title”.
    Please advice.

    ​Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    ​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:
    https://i.rankmath.com/HwXR1o

    You can use this tool for the same as well: https://www.heymeta.com/

    4. If it matches your settings, then you must check if Google has seen the 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.

    This section sheds light on that:

    Why the search result title might differ from the page's <title> tag

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

    Hi there,
    Thank you for the response.
    I checked on above and seems all good. However, the Gutenberg part is not clear to me as I haven’t worked with the Posts section. It might worth it to mention that I’m working with Optimize Live Editor.
    Anyways, without me having changed anything my website happened to come up differently in google. Unfortunately still not what it is supposed to be, but it is a chain of the first few words on my homepage.

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.

    I deactivated Rank Math at the moment and tried another optimisation. Please feel free to active Ranke Math again in order to investigate the issue. It’s really funny, every time I google my website different parts of my website are showing up as text on Google. Thanks for your support!

    Hello,

    You didn’t add your website name to the Sensitive Data section, so we can’t log in. Could you check it?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I see that the output meta is the same as the one you set using Rank Math.

    I have shared more details in the sensitive data section.

    Please check and let us know.

    Hi there,

    I swapped to Rank Math again to try it out.
    Title, as well as text underneath still, doesn’t adjust in google.

    Looking forward to help you.
