  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the meta description. It sounds like there may be a few things to check to ensure that the correct meta description is being used.

    1. Check Your Settings in Rank Math: Make sure that you have set the SEO Meta Title and Description correctly in the Rank Math settings. You can refer to this guide on how to edit your homepage directly: Homepage SEO Settings via Meta Title and Description.

    2. Schema Settings: Ensure that your Schema settings are valid. The Headline in the Schema Builder should show %seo_title% and the Description should show %seo_description%. This ensures that the SEO title and description set via Rank Math are used for structured data. You can find more details about this in our article on Google Shows A Different Meta Title/Description For My Site.

    3. Check Page Source: Verify if your title and description are set up properly in the page source. Right-click on your page and select View page source to check if the correct meta description is present there. Alternatively, you can use this online tool to check your meta tags.

    4. Google Indexing: If everything looks correct, it might be that Google has not yet indexed the latest version of your page. You can check this by entering cache: followed by your page URL in the search bar to see when Google last cached it. If the cache date is before you made changes, you may need to wait for Google to re-crawl your page.
