Google is NOT showing up the right META DESCRIPTION

[tourtravel]

Hi,

Recently I changed titles and meta descriptions of some pages.

The problem is that google have updated the titles but not the meta descriptions..

Ive also checekd the source code of the google cached version of the pages crawled and the meta description reflect the changes i did...but the changes don't appear in google.

Do you have some solution/advice for the issue?

Tx so Much

Sometimes they do not choose to utilize the meta description and titles I believe because they may think something is more relevant to return based on the specific user query.

As far as I know, you cannot do anything about what gets displayed by the engine.

Your changes may appear as intended for some searches and not for others is what I am really saying.  It is the engine's prerogative as to what is displayed based on the user's query.

Ok tx so much for your information

Is the page new ? ensure that google has indexed it fully, I do this by fetching as google with webmaster tools, and possibly take a look at the version of your page google has cached from the search results,

If the meta information is cached and upto date then, DJ123's answer applies, Google has found some text content it prefers to show, possibly based on the users search query

Try rewriting your meta description and make it as relevant as possible if that is an option for you,

Hope this helps

HI,

yes i did twice "fetch as Google", and yes the page is new so prob is a matter of time or probably Google is displaying what he wants as DJ123 was saying...
