Meta description wrong on Google search

​Thanks for getting in touch with us.
​
​1. First of all, I am assuming that you have already changed the SEO Meta Title and Meta Description with the help of Rank Math:
Add a Meta Description in Classic Editor:

Add title and description in Gutenberg:

​
​2. Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if Rich Snippets are enabled on your website:
​
​
​To reiterate, the Schema title must show %seo_title% and the description should show %seo_description% – this will ensure your SEO title and SEO Description that you set up via Rank Math can also be used for your schema details:
​
​3. The next step is to check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:

You can use this tool for the same as well: https://www.heymeta.com/

4. 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 new meta description, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. If the date is after you made the changes,
​
​Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/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.

Why the search result title might differ from the page's <title> tag

Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.

Hello,

It could be due to several reasons:

• If your website is new, Google might assign a lower crawl budget so it doesn’t check it every day. It will improve as more time goes and your website ages
• Also, have you added your sitemap_index.xml URL to Google Search Console? It can improve the crawling rate, since using it Google will know if some page has been updated

Looking forward to help you.

Hello,

You have to contact your web host about that since 500 issues are caused by server related issues or limitation.

Do note that the Instant Indexing API should only be used on LiveStreaming or JobPosting websites.
