Katey001 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Hello, I updated this site's meta description months ago and have submitted the page to Google Search Console; however, my meta description is not updating. Any tips? Link to comment
SEOSpace_Henry Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Hi @Katey001 - I understand how frustrating this can be! Sometimes Google can ignore your meta description for a number of reasons: Meta description format: If your meta description isn't 150-160 characters (i.e. the optimal length) Domain authority: New websites that don't have many backlinks aren't going to be crawled as regularly as those that have more. If your site has a low authority, Google is less likely to pick up your SEO title and description as you want it to - this impacts my own site, as it's new. Thin content: If your web page has thin content (<300 words) or low-quality content, then why would Google display you properly on Google? There's no incentive So, ensure your MD is the right format, add some backlinks and add high-quality content you your website, and then hopefully, you'll be shown correctly 👌 Katey001 1 Henry Purchase Founder of SEOSpace - the leading Squarespace SEO experts.
