SERP incorrect

    Hi,

    I can’t manage to let Google show the correct snippet, that I created with Rank Math in DIVI.
    Here are two screenshots:

    I even forced Google to do a rescan, but nothing helps.
    My special SEO-Program also tells me “Text too long, text generated by Google”.
    Somehow Google isn’t using the snippet that I created with Rank Math.

    Any ideas?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I can see the Google recently visited the updated version of your website and still showing the old description tag inside the SERPs.

    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.

    Here are some of the common reasons Google might not use the meta description you provided:
    – The meta description is not relevant or useful (ie, just a collection of keywords).
    – The exact same meta description is provided across a large number of pages.
    – The meta description doesn’t match what the user is searching for, but other content on the page does.

    There is a whole article dedicated to this on SearchEngineJournal:
    https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-offers-suggestions-for-avoiding-meta-description-rewrites/359884/

    The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

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

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    That sounds really strange. From my point of view, the meta description is exactly right and much better than what Google currently displays.

    That will not be easy …
