Around 10 days back, I have edited the meta description of my blog post and requested indexing from the google search console. I have waited for few days but still, the meta description is not updated. Please help.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
1. Please check if your meta description is properly set up in the page source:

2. 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 SEO settings, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info.
Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta 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.
