      Hello Every one,

      I have a Wordpress website in which i installed All in SEO plugin and wrote meta titles and descriptions for each and every page and posts and submitted website to index.

      But after Google crawl the Meta Titles and Descriptions shown by Google are something different that are not found in Content.

      Even i verified the Cached version of the website and gone through Source code that crawled at that moment. the meta title which i have written is present there.

      Apart from this, the same URL's are displaying perfect meta titles and descriptions which i wrote in Yahoo and Bing Search Engines.

      Can anyone explain me how to resolve this issue.

      Website URL: thenewyou (dot) in

      Regards,

        Hi Satish,

        Google will treat your title and description as suggestions. The reason they do this is because they want to provide the best possible description to their users. In such case they may generate their own description based off words, alt text, your description or combinations of all three.

        This is nothing new, Google does this to everybody. You can view a video by Matt Cutts on this exact situation here.

        Hope this helps,

        Don

          Hello Don,

          I seconded with you, but my issue is i have relevant title and description based on the content of the page, but it takes title as Dr. Deepu Chundru ( it is in

          ), and this name is not related to the content of the page.

          So how should i want my site to index the title and description.

          Regards,

            Okay it is possible that I misunderstood the question.

            Where specifically are you seeing that Google is not indexing your title and description?

            Google Webmaster or Search Results ?

            Thanks,

            Don

                Hi Satish,

                Then my first response is appropriate. Google will use whatever "title / Description" it feels is best, again I recommend you watch the YouTube video from Matt Cutts (former Google SEO guy) about why that is.

                In your particular case it could be the Doctor Deepu Chandru is driving more traffic to the site then your focused keywords, so as long as people keep engaging with Google's suggestion they will keep using it. Or perhaps you have made changes and not allowed Google enough time to re-index the site.

                My suggestion remove the H1 tags from the docotor's names you are using multiple h1 tags there, this could be a bit of confusion for Google, change them to H2 tags. Then under your Logo write in H1 the Page title "Liposuction Surgery and Laser Hair Removal". This will tell Google the most important thing on this page is those specific keywords. Give it 1-3 weeks to get re-crawled and Google to get its indexes changed and you should see the difference.

                Hope this helps,

                Don
