Google listings

    Hello,

    I’ve added my meta titles and descriptions for my web pages in the rankmath plugin, however, some of them appear to be working and some of them aren’t. A few of my listing are showing up in a way that’s making our click through rate drop very low. Is there something we can do on our end to fix this/ did we set something up wrong?

    For example if you search “rain music pos” our page will pull up, and sometimes the title is correct/sometimes its not, but then the description is always off/ and keeps showing meta data for an image.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Everything in wordpress seems to be fine, its the fact that its not being translated onto google search properly is the issue. Is there someone there that has knowledge on this particular subject that could help? We would be willing to pay extra for personalized support on this issue.

    Or is that what the pay plans are for? Wondering what type of support would be included in the pay plans? And is it fast response times

    Hello,

    We are sorry for the delay and inconvenience caused.

    Yes, the PRO users are offered priority support.

    Please check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source, you can use this tool to check: https://www.heymeta.com/

    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.
