    I’ve encountered an issue on my website (https://ahoptraveler.com/) where Rank Math SEO is not displaying the custom meta description in search results, even though I’ve set it up correctly in the plugin. Despite having followed the recommended steps, such as ensuring the meta description is within the ideal character count, clearing the cache, and re-submitting the sitemap in Google Search Console, the description still doesn’t appear in the search results. Could this be related to an indexing issue or a conflict with another plugin?

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the meta description not showing in search results. It can be frustrating when everything seems set up correctly but the desired outcome isn’t achieved.

    Here are a few things to consider:

    1. Indexing Issue: It’s possible that Google hasn’t indexed the latest version of your page yet. You can check this by using the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console. Enter your page’s URL and see the last crawl date. If it’s before your changes, you can request indexing to prompt Google to re-crawl your page.
      Inspect URL on GSC

    2. Meta Description Quality: Ensure that your meta description is relevant and useful. If it lacks quality or is just a collection of keywords, Google might choose not to display it. Additionally, if the same meta description is used across multiple pages, this could also lead to issues.

    3. Search Intent: Sometimes, Google may override your custom meta description if it finds content on your page that better matches the user’s search intent. This is beyond your control, as search engines decide what they display based on their algorithms.

    4. Plugin Conflicts: If you suspect a conflict with another plugin, try temporarily disabling other SEO-related plugins to see if that resolves the issue.

    If you’ve checked all these aspects and the problem persists, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or specific error messages you might be encountering. A human agent from our support team will take over and assist you further.
