@Afterhrsuk Hey, thanks for posting here.
can you please share the link to inspect it, thanks.
there you need to update the meta thing from the backend and then check the the meta-related code.
@Afterhrsuk
Hope everything is doing well,
The issue you’re facing, where Google is showing the contact information or repetitive email details in search results instead of the product or collection information, seems to be related to improper meta tags, schema markup, or content organization. Here’s a more targeted approach to resolve this:
Make sure that the title and meta description tags for your pages are correctly set up, especially for product pages, and not for contact pages. It seems Google is picking up content from your contact page.
For example, for the product or collection page, the title and description should be:
For a product page:
Ensure these tags are set up for each page (especially product or collection pages) in the HTML.
2. Check for Duplicate or Similar Content.
3. Update Sitemap and Resubmit to Google Search Console.

Hi Akshay, thanks for the reply, truly appreciated
I have updated all meta tags for collections already (image attached), but for some reason it is still picking up the contact page details… any further ideas?
hi thanks for the reply
@Afterhrsuk you need to check you liquid code of collection template condition in the head of the theme. liquid.
you can check my previous comment.
Thanks for the update and the attached image.
I will review the details you’ve shared and thoroughly check your website’s. I’ll also look into the meta tags and make sure everything is configured correctly for your collections. I’ll get back to you. And give me 1 like thank you.
@Afterhrsuk as per my knowledge your HTML is looking fine but we need to review liquid code.
@Afterhrsuk
Check the homepage of your website, then hold the cursor over the search tab at the top. The meta title of the homepage will appear, along with your website URL. If needed, you can also change and rearrange the title here. Thank You

Hi @Afterhrsuk
I can share you another way to further check this issue, which is to see if the code of meta tags is modified on your store, as it affects the performance in Google directly. You can find out the code in theme.liquid file by accessing Online store-Themes-three dots near Customize button-Edit code. Then check the code I find out from the original version of the theme file if it looks similar or not. If not, it must be modified and will result in the chaos of the search results in Google.
Here attach the original code of meta tags below:
{% if page_description %}
{% endif %}
