Hi,

For some reason google wont show my meta description, but takes just a random section from my homepage.

This is the meta description:

And this is what’s showing on google:

Why is that? Everything is verified on google search.

Hi @Shauletay ,

There’re several reasons Google shows the wrong meta description for your homepage.

If you’ve recently updated your description, Google might not have crawled the page, or updated their index with your content. It can take time for Google to process the changes you made, depending on how frequently your website is crawled.

Another common reason that Google shows a different meta description than the one you provided, is that they think that their description is better. Here are a few potential scenarios:

  • The title or meta description you specified isn’t relevant to the search query.
  • The title or meta description you specified is too short or too long.
  • The title or meta description you specified is not an accurate reflection of what your page is really about.

If Google decides to change, ignore, or show something other than your specified meta description, there’s, unfortunately, nothing that you can do about it. The best advice we can provide is to try a different description. Make sure your meta description accurately reflects what’s on your page keep it around 160 characters.

I hope my answer can help.
