harry_ord Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hello I have a WordPress site and i'm using the YOAST plugin to change the description that appears on Google. Yoast give me the option to change this on every page, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's a picture where you can see what i'm talking about: Is something missing? do i need to do something else?

dsonesuk Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 You click edit snippet, then you have the option to change seo title, meta description, and slug. It might take a bit of time to change at google though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsonesuk Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Unless you are preventing google accessing your using 'nofollow, noindex' or denying in htacces file, it should quicker than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've checked google's cache for your website: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?sclient=psy-ab&q=cache%3Abrauli.cl&oq=cache%3Abrauli.cl&gs_l=serp.3...23583.24367.0.24565.6.6.0.0.0.0.122.456.3j2.5.0....1...1c.1.64.psy-ab..1.0.0.z82uRrvpp7U&pbx=1 The meta description tag is in the source code, so I suspect Google didn't like it and decided to find more substantial content. Try making a longer, more descriptive description and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 You can't see the date, but you can check the source code to see if the meta tag has the value you expected it to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
