Weird meta description for website launch

[2MSens]

Hi all,

We just launched a new website: http://www.allwatchapps.com/

There is no link yet, but everything seems allright in google webmaster tools: everypage seems to be indexed, and content keywords are good.

However, when I search for "allwatchapps" in google, I got a meta description for the homepage:

26 mai 2014 - Contact. : + 33 (0)6.33.27.78.63 : info@allwatchapps.com : Grenoble - Lyon - Chambéry - Annecy - Paca - Paris ...

It is the date of the page, which I want to disable (where does it com from?! I use Yoast SEO plugin and didn't find the option), and the footer contact info, why is that?...

Thanks, best,

• Benoit.

HI Benoit,

If the site is very new and has no incoming links yet I would think that google is still trying to decide what it is all about and how best to present the data in the serps and that is why you are seeing the contact data in there (also the type of search you are doing - an exact match for the domain - could be influencing the type of data returned). Give it a bit of time and the description should change around and settle.

The date is mentioned in your source code (view source and search for 'vcard' and you will see a hidden div with author and date info in it). So google is likely thinking your site is a blog and adding date info to the serps. Getting this hidden code completely out of the template should help getting the date out of the description.

Just check two things, if you have included Meta description in your Yoast plugin for home page. If it will be missing, Google usually take any line from the content.

The idea is to recheck if the Meta description is available and wait for the next crawl and Google will update your given Meta description.

Hope this helps!

Again as per MoosaHemani and Lynnp, Google's algorthims will often choose a string of characters from within the sites content that is deemed suitable for the page, normally the first descriptive paragraph. This will remain in place until you set up your meta descriptions correctly.

Sometimes you may also find that the Yahoo/Bing network also do the same.
