Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with the meta description of your website. It can be frustrating when the wrong information is displayed in search results.
Based on the issue you’ve described, it sounds like the meta description for your web pages and posts is not displaying correctly in Google search results. This can be due to various reasons, including how Google chooses to display information from your website.
To address this issue, there are a few steps we can take to troubleshoot:
-
Check the Meta Description in the Page Source Code: Ensure that the correct meta description is set up in the source code of your web pages. You can do this by right-clicking on your page and selecting “View page source” to verify the meta description tag.
-
Ensure Your Schema Settings Are Valid: Make sure that the settings for the post or page in Rank Math’s Schema tab are correctly configured to use the SEO title and description you have set up.
-
Check Google’s Cache Date: Verify when Google’s cache was last updated for the page to see if it has picked up on the changes you made.
-
Review Common Reasons Google Might Not Use Meta Descriptions: It’s also important to consider that Google might choose to display different meta titles and descriptions based on various factors, even if you’ve set them up correctly.
I recommend starting with these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly from here, and we’ll be happy to help.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we’ll do our best to assist you with this matter.

Hello,
Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please note that even when everything is set up correctly, Google may choose to display a different meta title for search query results. Google may skip the custom metadata you have set and instead display something from the page’s content that better matches the search intent. What to show in search results is solely determined by Google.

Hello,
We’ve checked your homepage’s description, and it is already set to:
NewsandKhabar:-Cricket,Sports, Entertainment,Viral News, Viral Videos, Latest News, Bollywood News
To ensure that the meta title and description you have set are already applied, you can verify that using these tools:

Please note that Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and shows something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.
In this case, the best you can do is optimize your meta title and description to try and match the intent of the search/keyword:
