Site's meta description is not being shown in Google Search results. Instead our privacy policy is getting indexed.
Ha! This is a fun one Ok so you should know, that like many Meta tags - "Description" is just a directive. Google don't _have _to use your Meta description and if they think it's poorly written they will use whatever else they believe to be the top-line leading copy on the page (which is usually something from your body / paragraph content). So your Meta description reads like this: "FICO is an analytics company that is helping businesses make better decisions that drive higher levels of growth, profitability and customer satisfaction." - 154 characters, which is inside of the usually recommended 155 character limit. Obviously Google actually use pixel width, but this _should _be OK to be honest I really hope you don't take this the wrong way but at the open of the description, it reads like slightly broken English. It's actually not that bad, I have probably written one or two worse ones myself once or twice. Also - it's one huge sentence. I'd write it like this instead: "FICO is an analytics company that helps businesses make strategic decisions. Our insights drive higher levels of growth, profitability and satisfaction." - 152 characters My main issue was with the phrase "is helping businesses make better decisions" - doesn't read like real English (just calling it as I see it there, no offence meant!) Now let's get onto the **technical **side of it because this will really interest you! Your privacy notice, to a renderless (non-headless, JS-disabled, CSS disabled) crawler looks like the beginning of your content. Load up your web-page (https://www.fico.com/en). Download and install the "Web Developer" extension for Google Chrome, click the little cog-shaped icon that it adds to your navigation system. Click the "CSS" tab / menu, then click "Disable All Styles". If you followed my steps accurately, you'll see a page that looks like this: https://d.pr/2AOsys.png What looks most prominent there to you? What's under the main, title-like heading? Guess what - it's your privacy notice! What you should do is have the privacy notice coded at the **BOTTOM **of your source code, then use CSS to move it up 'visually'. That way Google won't get confused and think it's your main content opening up... :') Hope this helps. Love little ones like this
