eddieuk Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 So you have a totally different meta description than Google show? Completely different. The text on Google doesn't even come from the home page. The attachement I've included shows the meta description that it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieuk Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I've also tried re-crawling the site but the wrong description is still there. It's also incorrect in Yahoo as well (if that helps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber long Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Hey i am also facing this problem, please suggest the solution. Edited December 9, 2013 by Amber long (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This is usually an indication that the search engine doesn't consider the description you've provided matches the page content. As Madrileño said above, the generation of the snippets are automated. There are only two ways to "solve" this -- either change the wording of the meta description to be consistent with the keywords on the page or change the page content to be consistent with the description The meta description is only a suggestion, so best make it a good one....

Madrileño Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks Paul C, and the description may be different depending on the keywords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbento119 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi guys, I am having the same issue with my description but I do consider that my description matches my page content, on what grounds is Google making that decision. How can I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Perez Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 So your opinion and the opinion of Google's disagree:) Making use of meta tags Google can not, you can try to maximize its recommendations are followed, and nothing more. In general, very strange to hear such a question from a man whose signature link to a site with SEO Services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
