    Hello, I did everything correctly, settings done but I noticed breadcrumbs are not showing on SERP and google adds additional meta description from page content when the description I added is too short. Can you check please? thanks

    Hello,

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

    I have checked some pages of your website with https://search.google.com/test/rich-results and it shows that breadcrumbs are present on the pages, so you have to wait for Google to crawl your site to reflect the changes in search results.

    For Meta Description,
    1. First of all, 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:
    meta in classic

    Add title and description in Gutenberg:
    meta in gutenberg

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

    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:
    page source

    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. cache
    b. cached

    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, then you just have to wait it out and there is no further input needed from your end.

    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:
    https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-offers-suggestions-for-avoiding-meta-description-rewrites/359884/

    Here is an example showing Google changes title depending on the keyword used:
    description
    &
    description 2

    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.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    Hello,

    I am happy it helped you. Do you have any other questions or do you want us to mark this as solved?

    Thank you.

    It’s been almost a week and google is starting to index properly my pages but still not showing the correct breadcrumbs on search result but instead it’s showing the url.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow-up, and sorry for the delay.

    I’ve checked your site on Google search results, and I’m not finding any issue with the Breadcrumbs. Could you please also share the affected URL/s to further check?

    Thank you, and looking forward to helping you.

    Please check this search result, as you see it shows the url structure instead of the breadcrumb structure.

    Instead this is the breadcrumb json on my website. You can clearly see on google search result the breadcrumb is not showing

    Hello, any update?

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow-up, and sorry for the delay.

    The Breadcrumbs are already showing fine:
    Breadcrumbs

    Do you mean the word man-re should be translated as 慢热? If not, please provide more details on what are you trying to achieve in your breadcrumbs.

    Thank you, and looking forward to your update.

    that is not the breadcrumb sir, the link you circled is the url structure, if you check the page code you will find that this is not the breadcrumb structure.

    Please check the schema code here, it’s totally different than the url you circled

    you see this image? this is the breadcrumb structure which does not correspond the url structure on serp of the image above

    the correct breadcrumb structure should be Lyrics > 慢热

    as shown in the breadcrumb json structure with Lyrics (capital letter L) and 慢热


    the first one is the link structure, the second one is the breadcrumb which is totally different
