    I check All posts with heymeta.com, everything is fine there. But when my post appears on google wrong metadata is showing.

    Can you please check this.

    Before I also add a post with the same problem. That time I have an issue with w3 total cache plugin. I fix that issue and wait for google to crawl my site.

    After crawling my new post I still face the problem.

    Hi Nayeem,

    ​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: https://i.rankmath.com/dhECkg
    Add title and description in Gutenberg: https://i.rankmath.com/ZO21Cd

    ​2. Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if Rich Snippets are enabled on your website:
    ​https://i.rankmath.com/pG0pcS

    ​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:
    https://i.rankmath.com/HwXR1o

    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. https://i.rankmath.com/9q6X0H
    b. https://i.rankmath.com/R8N0Uh

    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.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    the date is after I made the changes.
    Please check the new screenshot on Sensitive data.

    Hi,

    I have shared a screenshot with you in the sensitive data section.

    This proves that Google already sees the meta description but it is choosing to ignore it because it thinks the meta description you added is not relevant to the person searching for the keyword.

    Is it is good for me?
    Is my rank math settings are set up properly?

    Hi Nayeem,

    Yes, Rank Math settings are correct.
