      I am trying to figure out what is going on with my site listings. Google is only displaying my title and url - no description. You can see it when you search for Franchises for Sale. The site is www.franchisesolutions.com.

      Why could this happen? Also I saw a big drop off in a handful of keyword rankings today. Could this be related?

          So you don't think it is a problem related to keyword ranking drops?

          Do you think this is temporary?

            Yes, are the pages new?

            if could be a indexing probllem if you have changed soming like added a no-index tag or somthing recently

                Something is odd here. When I search for franchises for sale, I'm seeing this as the snippet in the SERP:

                ColdFusion Server Standard, 9,0,0,251028. Template, /index.cfm. Time Stamp, 10-Mar-12 10:59 PM. Locale, English (US). User Agent, Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ...

                Maybe there's some issue with crawling?

                  Do you have any advice as to what I can do about it? It seems to "fix" itself and then default back to what you are seeing (on and off). thanks!!!

                    this is even more wired then it seems, as your site is not built with cold fusion it is asp.net running on iis according to your headers

                    do you have a listing in domoz, as google sometimes uses dmoz info for your snippit.

                    but then it would be unlikly to have a timespamp of 10 mar 2012

                    was your site once madein coldfussion? does it have any cfm pages?

                      OK it looks like your site uis coldfusion, yet your headers suggest it is asp.net

                      Here is a see a cold fusion page
                      http://www.franchisesolutions.com...

                      If you look at the cacheed page in google it looks like some sort of trace page used fopr dubuging, it may be that goolge cloweled your site while you were debuging
