    I am using RankMath with elementor and the preview of the snippet that is shown in Elementor is not the same as the one you actually see when searching in google.

    This is what is visible in google: snippet

    This is the preview in Elementor snippet elementor

    Any idea what causes this? Also very weird: When I just installed rank math I ranked first for the term Oxyglasses (amazing!) and then after I optimized it I ranked like 8th :p any idea what I could have done wrong?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
    ​
    Please check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:
    https://i.rankmath.com/HwXR1o

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

    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.

    This section sheds light on that:

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

    Ranking on Google depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:

    1. Your website’s authority

    2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.

    3. How competitive the keyword is.

    4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.

    5. Your website’s crawlability.

    6. Frequency of new content and content updates.

    7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂
