Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I checked your website URL directly to Google Search and it seems the meta description is correctly added there.
Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta information 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 description to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Okay thanks. But the meta describtion which google choose is just a random part from the text and does not summarize the article well…

Thank you.
Hi Reinelle,
I added the link in the sensitive data. Can you see it? I marked the SEO describtion and what shows up in google.
Hello,
I checked the page source, Rank Math is adding the correct meta title and description to the page source.
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.
Okay thanks. Cache’s mostly dates from February 2022. So its quite up to date and after i made the SEO describtion in RankMath..
I don’t know why google chooses just a random describtion from the article, which does not summarize the article well. instead it’s just a random and unuseful part… nobody will click on this 🙁 thats so frustrating!
Hello,
As explained by my colleague, Rank Math already adds the correct meta description as you can see in my screenshot here:
If Google chooses a different description for this page, it means that Google thinks that the information they render on the SERP is much more optimized for the desired keyword or search term.
You would need to further optimize your content for the desired keyword so Google will finally use the desired meta description.
Please refer to the guide my colleague provided further guides to resolve this.
Looking forward to helping you.
