    Hi,

    I installed the Yoast SEO Plugin, Google shows the tittle, but doesn’t show the meta description.

    Do I need to change something to fix this?

    Best Regards,

    Peter

    Hey nowhere!

    Can you please give us a link to the website? Maybe there are stuck settings from a previous plugin, deactivate all plugins then test it again.

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Hey!

    Did you already input the meta description on SEO > Title & Meta > Home > Meta description field?

    Best regards,

    Hey!

    Your website shows the meta description in the source code. I.e. on the homepage it’s:

    
<meta name="description" content="Bierproeverij en bier & spijs events. Spéciale verzorgt Bierproeverijen en bier & spijs events op locatie. Ook voor Horeca, Retailers & events."/>

    Note that you can’t force google to use the meta description. It will generate the preview content based on the search term of the user and the relevance of your content. This is not a bug of the theme or Yoast SEO but it’s how google works….

    Cheers!

    Hi!

    There’s nothing we can change or “fix” on the admin page. As I said in my last post all pages already have a meta description (you can check this by viewing the source code in your browser or by using a tool like: http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html ) and everything works as intended.

    Best regards,
    Peter

    Boy it gets really frustrating when some users mark every reply as private. There are many cases when other users might be interested in the topic too!

    Hey!

    Actually there’s nothing relevant in the private posts. Just the log in info and the website url. The essential information is that google generates the preview content based on the search term of the user and the relevance of your website content. It does not (only) rely on the meta description text. Otherwise everyone could use this meta tag as “backdoor” for better rankings even for search terms which have nothing to do with your website content.

    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hey Peter, I wasn’t necessarily referring directly to this thread, I just happened to be in this one when I decided to comment as it seems that in many cases people post private replies unnecessarily and it does grate sometimes when browsing the forums :-)

    Hey!

    I’m going to close this topic for now since Peter’s response is the correct end for this and it isn’t something we have control over “fixing” as he mentioned.

    Cheers!
