Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the meta descriptions not matching what is displayed in Google searches. This is a common concern among users of Rank Math and can be frustrating.
Even after setting the correct meta description in Rank Math and confirming it in Google Search Console, Google may still choose to display a different description based on its algorithms. Here are some reasons why this might happen:
- Relevance and Quality: If the meta description is not deemed relevant or useful, or if it lacks quality (e.g., just a collection of keywords), Google may opt to show something else.
- Duplicate Descriptions: If the same meta description is used across multiple pages, Google might ignore it in favor of content that better matches the search query.
- Search Intent: Sometimes, the meta description may not align with what users are searching for, but other content on the page does, leading Google to display that instead.
Unfortunately, there is no way to override Google’s preference directly. However, you can try to improve the relevance and uniqueness of your meta descriptions to increase the chances of them being used.
