Google result showing old Meta Title / Description even though page view source shows new info.

Hey guys! I'm struggling with why Google is ignoring my Meta Title / Description. I made a pretty drastic change to both about a week ago and on the results it hasn't changed. I'm on first page with several keywords and I think this weird caching is hurting me on where I'm at on the page.

Thoughts / Ideas?

There's no guarantee that the turnaround time will be as fast as you would like, but have you tried submitting your updated page via "Fetch as Googlebot" in Google Webmaster Tools. Most likely, you've already tried this, but if not, I'd start there. Just make sure after you've done the "Fetch" that you click "Submit."

Other than that, we are all really at the mercy of Google's crawl bandwidth allowance so it could just be that it will take a bit more time. What is the cache date on the current Google listing?

Thanks Dana. Yep, did the fetch right after the change. The cached page shows 7/13 which would be before the change. We are not a huge hitting organic search site so I figured it would take a little time but "tools" is showing nice daily crawling of the site.

I know patience is a virtue, lol... you just want to see your work kick out and start working.
