SEO Title is not showing up in Google search

    When I google my site, the SEO is not showing up in the Google search. It remains unchanged. I took a look at the page source and had the same issue as this person (https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/seo-not-showing-in-google-search/). My theme or one of your installed plugins is adding an empty meta name=”description” tag on my header section that is causing Google to think I have not set a meta description.

    I followed all the instructions here (https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/) to try and determine what is wrong. I reactivated my theme and kept Rankmath enabled and my SEO is still not showing up. So my wordpress setup is the root of the problem. What does that mean?

    My website is greatparkdental.com

    Hello,

    Then, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    Could you please let us know when you made these changes to your title?

    We checked here and they are showing up correctly:
    https://metatags.io/

    Which means, it is about time Google will pick those and update them in their SERPs.

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

    Hi,

    I made these changes 2 days ago. However, when I type the name into Google I still don’t see the same updates in metatags.io

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please update the sensitive section with your site access URL so we can look into this further.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    It seems everything is set as it should in your settings (it even displays fine in the source code) so it is just Google wanting to display another title and description and not Rank Math nor your fault.

    The last time Google crawled your site was the 8th of June, so if you added the title and description before it 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.

    You can read more about it here

    This section sheds light on that:

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

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
