MOZ Toolbar 3.0: Can't Find the Meta Description On My Page, Why?

[Stew222]

Hey,

The new MOZ toolbar is unable to identify the meta description on any of the pages for my doman www.1099pro.com.  Is there any reason that someone can see why that would be?

The tag should be correct on all pages.

Thanks!

I'm just guessing but it could be your set up with a canonical to https & the site is https one side note you don't seem to have the author tag set correctly.  I'm not sure if at this point if Moz will go into https

Can always give help@moz.com a try they may be able to shed some light it could just be some teething troubles.

Thanks Chris,

How should I set the author tag correctly?

I'll give that a shot first.

It won't change the readability of the meta description just saw it.

First off you need a Google plus account in there at the moment you have "WEBSITE Pro, Inc. (www.WEBSITE.com)"

Some really helpful links to help you are here-

https://plus.google.com/authorship

finally you can test it here -

In short, you just need to put your Google url into the author tag and link the profile with the website.

Any problems let me know.

Almost there.  I've signed up for my authorship under all of the companies under the corporation but I am confused about what to do with the author tag.

Ideally, I'd like the Author to show up as my company and not me personally.  Does this mean that I put "https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/117986687211195857413/" (my company page) in the Author tag instead of "https://plus.google.com/105918311011763510846/" (my personal profile with my work email)?

I really appreciate all your help!

The company page would be suited to the rel=publisher tag

The better way to explain the author tag is like a book.

On the back of the book you don't have info on the publisher but the author the same is true here, the tag is to say who wrote the content not who published it thus the two tags.

So you want to use the author tag on the personal profile or who ever wrote it.

in short: use your personal profile.
