    Hello

    I have the problem again that Google doesn’t use my description. Google always uses random excerpts from the content

    Is there a way to fix this?

    The crawl is up to date, I checked it in the google search console

    Best regards

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Those links and descriptions appearing under your homepage are called Sitelinks.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to control which links show on the search results under the Sitelinks as Google chooses them automatically.

    However, you can refer to Google’s guidelines for Sitelinks:
    https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/sitelinks?hl=en&visit_id=637896202197743542-2185653846&rd=1#sitelinks-best-practices

    Here’s a link for more information:

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hi

    I already understood that and the links that I had indexed by Google via the Google search console were all listed. However, they are displayed twice differently with different titles (as shown in the screenshots in the first post)

    In addition, the description that I created with RankMath is not displayed.

    Hello,

    It is a pretty common thing with Google these days. It happens with 70% of the results and we even have a KB dedicated to this problem and a few solutions we recommend:

    https://rankmath.com/kb/different-meta-title-and-description/

    Please check the KB and you will understand the reasons Google does this.

    Google has made some changes to their algorithm which automatically changes the titles, discarding the one you have set in your SEO title meta tag. This happens regardless of the SEO plugin you are using. We have covered this Google update here:

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hello,

    Since we did not hear back from you for 15 days, we are assuming that you found the solution. We are closing this support ticket.
