Google Uses the Wrong Meta Title / Meta Description in Search Results

Find out how to manage your meta data if Google is not displaying them.

You have entered your personalised title and meta description but Google is not displaying them correctly.

Why? What to do?

The short answer: Google does what it wants!

The long answer: it might be one of these factors:

• The first thing to check is your source code to ensure you don’t have a duplicate meta title/description. Fortunately, the SEOPress content analysis feature takes care of this. If we find duplicate meta tags, you will be notified.
• The meta title/description update is too recent and the bot has not re-crawled your site, or Google has not updated its index yet (it can take several weeks or months depending on the popularity of the site and its age).
• The meta title/description is not considered relevant by Google.
• The meta title is too long.
• The meta description is contextual to the user search queries.
