Why Google Doesn’t Displays Meta Description Correctly?

Being an Internet Marketing and SEO company in Delhi, NCR we often come across clients worried about the meta description of their website pages is not displayed correctly in Google search results.

There are many scenarios, some common ones are:

• Google doesn’t display meta description correctly
• Google display content from my page instead of meta description I defined.
• Google displays a combination of my meta description and page content.
• Is SEO Yoast plugin creating problem with my site title, meta description?
• Is any plugin in my WordPress Website conflicting with SEO Yoast plugin?
• Is it due a fault in the website coding that my meta description is not displayed by Google.

And the list goes on.

I would suggest not to panic in any of the situations above and just check the basics

To start, check the page source of your website page in any browser.

See if this piece of code is there

<meta name=”description” content=”We are a full service website design company in Delhi. Delivered over 1000 web design, SEO, data entry and content writing projects across USA &amp; India.”/>

It is obvious that the content of the meta description will be different for your website.

If the meta description is present in your page source and Google still doesn’t displays it

Then there is nothing wrong the website code or plugin (plugin, if you have a WordPress Website)

This is because Google displays search results according to the search term used by any user.

If the search term used by any user has a combination of words which are present in your meta description then it will display the meta description in search snippets.

If the keywords are present in any part of your page content then Google will display the portion of your page content in Search result snippets.

Or in case the keywords used by the user are partially available in your meta description and page content then Google may display both the meta description and some part of your page content.

This is because Google provides the most relevant information to the users searching for information so it checks meta description and page content to match the search term used by the users and displays the result accordingly.

You can do anything about it but to improve the website content and write the correct meta titles and meta description which define your products or services.
