Meta data not updating on Google.

    Hi there, for some reason, I cannot get rankmath to update my metadata on google. But whenever I use any tool to check the metadata, it works as intended, even when checking the page source, everything is ok, but Google keeps showing the wrong info, it’s been weeks without being able to make it work.

    This is the data I see when I check the page source. I asked google to reindex multiple times, and it does, but nothing.

    <meta name="description" content="Elite Center se dedica de manera exclusiva a la venta de equipos y accesorios tecnológicos. Encuentra todo lo que necesitas aquí."/>
    <meta name="robots" content="follow, index, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1, max-image-preview:large"/>

    <link rel="canonical" href="https://elitecenter.cl/" />
    <meta property="og:locale" content="es_ES" />
    <meta property="og:type" content="website" />
    <meta property="og:title" content="Elite Center | Sube de Nivel | Elite Center" />
    <meta property="og:description" content="Elite Center se dedica de manera exclusiva a la venta de equipos y accesorios tecnológicos. Encuentra todo lo que necesitas aquí." />

    When I check the info google is getting I get this:

    <meta name=”description” content=”Pagando con Mercado Pago”/>
    <meta name=”robots” content=”follow, index, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1, max-image-preview:large”/>
    <link rel=”canonical” href=”https://elitecenter.cl/&#8221; />
    <meta property=”og:locale” content=”es_ES” />
    <meta property=”og:type” content=”website” />
    <meta property=”og:title” content=”Elite Center | Sube de Nivel | Elite Center” />
    <meta property=”og:description” content=”Pagando con Mercado Pago” />

    Any ideas?

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I’ve checked few of your page’s source code, and the correct meta description is showing there. You can also verify that using this tool:
    https://heymeta.com

    Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and shows something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better. In this case, the best you can do is optimize your meta description to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

    Here’s a link for more information:

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

    Thank you.

    So, if I understand correctly, using the plug-in is completely useless? There’s no search intent for my homepage, it’s just a homepage.

    I didn’t have this issue before. But now RankMath does absolutely nothing to help my SEO? Because it doesn’t work on any of my pages, products, categories, etc. What’s the use for the plug-in if I can’t use it for something this basic? I know it helps me writing and optimizing the content, but changing the mega title and description is basic!

    Also, there’s no logic in what you’re saying, because if google is optimizing anything it wouldn’t choose those words for the description, because they are half a sentence, they don’t even make sense without the rest of the words.

    Clearly something else is going on.

    I hope I can get help.

    Hello,

    The SEO plugins help you to add meta tags, Schema markup, OG tags, sitemap, and manage other on-page SEO aspects. However, Google doesn’t always show the description or title that you have set and no plugin or manual meta tags can force them to do that.

    You will have to make sure that your description and title are optimized enough for the keyword you want to rank for and wait for Google to start showing them. However, if they still choose to show a different title and description, there is nothing you can do to change that. You can learn more about this in the article shared by my colleague.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need our assistance with anything else.
