Thank you for getting in touch with us.
1. First of all, I am assuming that you have already changed the SEO Meta Title and Meta Description with the help of Rank Math:
Add a Meta Description in Classic Editor:Add title and description in Gutenberg:
2. Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if Rich Snippets are enabled on your website:
To reiterate, the Schema title must show %seo_title% and the description should show %seo_description% – this will ensure your SEO title and SEO Description that you set up via Rank Math can also be used for your schema details:
3. The next step is to check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:

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.

Hello,
Could you please share some of the affected URLs in the sensitive section so we can test from our end?
We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
Rank Math takes the Schema data from your product pages automatically and turns it into Schema-ready content. Likewise, the aggregateRating and review fields are taken from your actual product reviews that your buyers/customers leave on your products.
If you don’t have any reviews yet, that is going to show up as a warning in the schema testing tool. That’s because Google will actually look for those fields.
Please acquire some reviews and ratings to get rid of the
aggregateRatingandreviewwarnings.You can fix the SKU and availability issue easily as well:
To fix the
brandwarning, head over toWordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > WooCommerceand choose from any of the available fields to use as your product’s brands.If you want to use a custom value for your Brands, you can do that by using the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:
// Add Brand for Products. add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_product_entity', function( $entity ) { $entity['brand'] = 'Rank Math; return $entity; });Replace the “Rank Math” text with your actual brand name then run your website through the Structured Data Testing tool once again.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
