Meta Title in Google does not match the HTML meta title I have coded in a site
-
I have a client site that is pulling a meta title that is not in his code. I am using Yoast for the titles and descriptions on this site. Not 100% sure why Google is not listing the title we have in place.
Could the code be pulling from somewhere else? Is there a fix for this?

Just like title tags, meta descriptions are not something Google 'must' use on their SERP page. Sometimes they will display different data (pick a more relevant snippet) depending on the query that drove the search results.

Google came out earlier this year and said that they would change some meta titles and improve them as they see fit.
