Different metadescrition content

​Thanks for getting in touch with us.

I have attached a little guide we did to show everyone how to configure meta titles and meta descriptions. Also, when you say it is not showing the changes, do you mean on Google Search? If so, I think this guide will help you.
​
​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:

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.

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

Hi Jose,

You cannot use %seo_description% as the description for SEO. It is only meant to be used in the Schema. You are basically telling the meta description to use the meta description which creates a loop.

You should instead use `%excerpt% or enter a full meta description manually.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
