Hello,
Thanks for contacting us.
I can check that you are using Yoast on the site that you have shared.
If you were using Rank Math then please activate Rank Math so we can check the tags added by it.
However, sometimes Google can decide to show different titles and descriptions and completely ignore the meta tags set by you.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
I have not installed the Yoast plugin on the website.
Its being used RankMath plugin only.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I can see that Google is displaying a different page title/description in the search results than the one set by you using Rank Math.
Rank Math is outputting the title and description just fine. However, it seems like Google has not yet updated meta tags for this page in the search results.
It is a pretty common thing with Google these days. It happens with 70% of the results and we even have a KB dedicated to this problem and a few solutions we recommend:
https://rankmath.com/kb/different-meta-title-and-description/
Please check the KB and you will understand the reasons Google does this.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
I have already seen this video before making this request to support.
I have checked the google have cached the page yesterday, and this content is update way before that. The problem is the snippet google showing is not even on the page.
I do understand google doens’t pick the correct meta description these days. But it pick up something from the page, but in my case its using the content which was 1 month older or so. Even if the cached page is yerterday’s.

Hello,
I checked the page further and now it seems like the meta description of the indexed homepage is removed. Also, Google’s cache is empty.
Here’s a screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/bBjeGz
Please clear your website and server’s cache and wait for Google to crawl the website again and see if the description is added/updated.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
I did request to remove that. So until next crawl there won’t be any wrong information.
Hello,
In that case, you can follow the suggestion in my previous reply to clear your website and server’s cache and give Google some time to crawl the website again and see if the description is added/updated.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
It worked. I requested removal of the current snippet using google console and now it crawled againa and the title and snippets are showing correct now. Thank you for you help.
