Hi Guys:

I have 3 top level domains, basically - I can see that my website is ranking in another country (USA) for my keyword - however the domain name that is showing up for the USA search is correct, but the meta tag description is incorrect, this meta tag description is for the NZ domain - not the USA domain.   I have updated the hreflang tags, when i submit my new sitemap how long does it take google to update the meta tag description?

I have actually seen it happen in a matter of minutes from using fetch as Google. I had a client that left debugging on, on the site and it was printing an error message as the meta tag. It took about 10 minutes to get it cleared out using fetch as Google.

Hi Lesley

Thanks for your response! Did you have to resubmit a new sitemap as well after the changes were made?

I did not, it was only one page so I used fetch as Google.
