Wrong meta descriptions showing in the SERPS

[Brian_Owens_1]

We recently launched a new site on https, and I'm seeing a few errors in the SERPS with our meta descriptions as our pages are starting to get indexed. We have the correct meta data in our code but it's being output in Google differently. Example: http://imgur.com/ybqxmqg

Is this just a glitch on Google's side or is there an obvious issue anyone sees that I'm missing?

Thanks guys!

Brain, based on the example you provided, Google is correct--there is no proper meta description tag on those pages, so that's why they're not including your meta description tag. If there is no meta description tag, then Google will just show text from the page.

For example, the syntax of your meta description tag on the /7175 page is incorrect.

The meta description is this for that page: content="Contact information, driving directions and store hours for the CarMax Cincinnati Store in Cincinnati, Ohio 45240" name="description" />

Thanks for the link. I'm guessing our solution lies somewhere between #'s 2 and 5 in that post. Appreciate the help
