      Hey Guys,

      After a lot of hard work, we finally fixed the problem on our site that didn't seem to show Meta Descriptions in Google, as well as "noindex, follow" on tags.

      Here's my question:

      In our source code, I am seeing both Meta descriptions on pages, and posts, as well as noindex, follow on tag pages, however, they are still showing the old results and tags are also still showing in Google search after about 36 hours. Is it just a matter of time now or is something else wrong?

        It's probably just an issue of time with Google.  Depending on your site it can take a while to get re-crawled and have the new changes indexed.

        Best,

        Jason

          Depending upon the authority and backlinks to your domain, I would guess it would take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months for those pages to go away.

          I would not worry about it. You have done your part...relax and concentrate on other areas of improvement/work and give it some time and you should be all set 🙂

            Hopefully not two months! I submitted some pages to Fetch as Google, but still haven't seen updates. I hope it happens a lot sooner than later.
