How long does it take for google to update title and metadata?

[herlamba]

I updated my site's title and description about a week ago, however for some reason it's still not reflected in google search results. Here's my site and try searching for 'shopious directory'. Any idea why this is? I tried looking at webmaster tool and it seems that google didn't have any errors. Why is it still showing the old data?

It generally takes like a day, tops from my experience.

Yours is done and updated. I'm not sure why you think it isn't. I'm looking at it now for that search string and it's showing me the same title that is displaying on your homepage. It is also displaying the meta description listed in your source code. (NOTE: Your meta description is too long so it is not entirely displayed.)

I updated my site's title the other day and it was done by the time I came into work the next morning.

Perhaps clear you cache, make sure you're searching de-personalized, etc..?

Hi, it very much depends on the individual site and how often it is updated normally.

For pages like on this forum. Google spiders and updates within 30 minutes or so it seems. If your site is updated less often then it will take longer for Google to revisit.

A week would be a reasonable average I guess. I assume you submitted a sitemap? Was it just the Title tag and Meta description that changed?

It's possible you could still be queued for a revisit but I would have thought it wouldn't take much longer.

LIke others have said. It can vary from site to site. I have seen examples where it has been the next day and others 2-3 weeks later. Google typically deep crawls a site a minimum of once a week but it does not guarantee that it will crawl all pages when it does so it may have been missed in the latest crawls. I have found also, sites with sound internal link structures get more pages crawled at a time. I guess the google crawler likes a easy read of a site.

I'm not sure how this is still a conversation. The topic creator's site has been indexed and the current title and meta description is showing in Google's SERPs...

So... There's your answer?

Here's what my current search results looked like and here's what my title page looked like:

<title>Direktori Toko-Toko Fashion & Beauty Online Terbesar di Indonesia | Shopious Directory</title>

I know it's a little late, but my site has the same problem, and it's annoying to see. I know next time google crawl my site, I will have a better ranking, but its been over a month now. So if anybody has a solution to my problem I would be happy
