Meta Description Not Updating in SERP

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the meta description not updating in Google SERPs. Thank you for providing detailed information about the steps you’ve already taken.

Here are a few things to consider:

1. Caching Issues: Since you’ve cleared your website cache, ensure that any server-side caching (like Varnish or CDN caching) is also cleared. Sometimes, these caches can hold onto old data longer than expected.

2. Google’s Indexing: After resubmitting your page in Google Search Console, it can take some time for Google to re-crawl and update its index. You can use the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console to check the last crawl date. If it’s before your changes, you can request indexing again to expedite the process.
   

3. Meta Description Overrides: Even after making changes, Google may choose to display a different meta description based on what it believes is more relevant to the search query. This is beyond your control, as Google sometimes ignores custom meta information altogether.

4. Content Relevance: Ensure that the content on your page aligns well with the new meta description. If Google finds other content on your page more relevant to the search queries, it might opt to display that instead.

5. Wait Time: Sometimes, it simply takes longer for Google to reflect changes in SERPs. If you’ve done everything correctly, it may just be a matter of waiting a bit longer.

If you continue to experience issues after trying these suggestions, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or questions, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

Thank you for your patience, and we hope this helps!
