I"m looking to edit the meta description for the home page of website on google search.
Tried the Preference tab but nothing seems to be changing.
Topic summary
A user is trying to update their Shopify store’s homepage meta description as it appears in Google search results. They’ve attempted to make changes through the Preferences tab but haven’t seen results yet.
Suggested solutions:
- Changes made in Preferences aren’t instant on Google—patience is required for search engines to reflect updates
- Verify the meta description appears correctly in the site’s source code (Ctrl + U)
- If the source code shows the correct description but Google hasn’t updated, submit a reindexing request through Google Search Console
Current status: The issue remains unresolved as the user awaits either automatic Google updates or needs to take additional verification/reindexing steps.

Hey @undercoverfresh
After updating it from Preference tab, you gotta wait for a while to let it get updated on Google search engine because as far as I know the updates on Google search engine are not instant. Plus, updating is from Preference is the only way so you just have to wait.
Best Regards,

Update the meta description in Online Store > Preferences, then check if it appears in your site’s source code (Ctrl + U). If it’s correct but not updating on Google, request reindexing via Google Search Console and wait for Google to update it. Let me know if you get this done.
