Google Six Pack Meta Descriptions

[highwayfive]

Anyone know of some good resources on the way to control the meta descriptions in the Google six pack  for a branded search. Google appears to often bypass the meta description and pull random text from the page. We have tested this by adding the brand name to the meta description and this appears to help but doesn't always sort the issue. You often get the same results with the site comand. It not really an SEO issue more a branding one.

Anyone get any ideas or resources they can point me at?

No clear answer to that question. I would review why and where google is pulling the information from.  Then try and track down the issue from there.

Here is a great article on it which goes into a deep dive.  https://moz.com/blog/why-wont-google-use-my-meta-description

Hope that assists.
