    Hi,
    I have this problem with the preview of the Home snippet on Google.
    When I enter the first keyword in this example | have different Snippet from the second keyword.
    I don’t understand where Rank Math goes to retrieve information for the first Snippet.

    (The second snippet is the correct one)

    Could anyone help me?

    (I have already had the page checked at the Google Search Console several times)

    This is the screenshot -> https://prnt.sc/ry9dg4

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Google will show different titles & descriptions depending on the search intent of the user. You can 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,
    I can’t see the image in this ticket -> https://snipboard.io/TEK2DV.jpg

    With this tool the meta are correct -> https://www.heymeta.com/url/www.boatrent-tredicuori.it/

    Thanks for the support, I hope Google updates the meta as soon as possible.

    Have a nice day

    Hi,

    Then everything’s setup correctly and there is no input needed from your end.

    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:

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

    This meta description and title are used only for the Homepage and I don’t understand why the same page have 2 snippet based on the key word that was used

    Hi,

    That’s because Google shows meta description based on the keyword a visitor uses. If you go through the links we shared with you – you will see the reason for that.

    Thank you.

    Thanks

    Have a nice day
