  1. Hello,

    All your blog post pages indeed have the same meta title.

    For example:

    Quote

    /healthcare-cyber-news

    /healthcare-cyber-news/hipaa-software-checklist

    /healthcare-cyber-news/healthcare-cybersecurity-news-you-need-to-know

    /healthcare-cyber-news/hipaa-explained

    /healthcare-cyber-news/hipaa-cloud-guide

    /healthcare-cyber-news/unleashing-the-power-of-healthcare-cybersecurity

    All these pages have different H1 (headings) and unique meta descriptions. However, they all have the same title:

    "The Latest Healthcare Cybersecurity News"

    Consider adding a unique meta title for all these pages.

  2. While there isn't a guaranteed way to force Google to use a specific image for your website, you can influence it through some steps:

    1. Use Open Graph meta tags to specify which image you want to appear in search results. Add the following meta tags to the <head> section of your HTML:

    <meta property="og:image" content="image.jpg" />
    <meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
    <meta property="og:image:height" content="630" />

    2. Add structured data using Schema.org to provide more information about your webpage. Here’s an example of how to specify an image in the structured data:

    <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "Organization",
      "url": "https://www.website.com",
      "logo": "logo.png",
      "image": "image.jpg"
    }
    </script>

    3. Make sure that your XML sitemap is up-to-date and includes the URL of the preferred image. This can help search engines find and index your image correctly.

    4. Use Google Search Console to request indexing of your page after making the changes. This can help speed up the process of updating the search results.

    By doing this, you can indicate to Google which image you'd prefer to display in search results, even if your logo remains at the top of your page.

  3. Hello,

    There can be two possible scenarios for this (Google displaying a different meta description in the Search Engine Result Page from what you have specified).

    1. Google has not crawled that change

    In the Google Search Console, add this URL, and check if the page is crawled by Google after you updated the description. You can check this in the "URL Inspection". If not, you can manually request Google to re-crawl your page by clicking on the "Request Indexing" button.

    2. Google has crawled that change

    If you see that Google has crawled your page after it was updated, then Google has considered that description, but it has intentionally shown a different description.

    The most common reason that Google shows a different meta description than the one you provided, is that they think that their snippet is better (for that search, for that user). Source

    In that case, you can try changing the description again and make it more relevant to your page.
