 * Hello [@vadimt2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vadimt2/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for not following up quickly and
   any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
 * 1. First of all, I am assuming that you have already changed the SEO Meta Title
   and Meta Description with the help of Rank Math:
 * Add a Meta Description in Classic Editor: [https://i.rankmath.com/dhECkg](https://i.rankmath.com/dhECkg)
   
   Add title and description in Gutenberg: [https://i.rankmath.com/ZO21Cd](https://i.rankmath.com/ZO21Cd)
 * 2. Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if the Schema Markup
   module is enabled on your website:
    [https://i.rankmath.com/pG0pcS](https://i.rankmath.com/pG0pcS)
 * To reiterate, the Schema title must show %seo_title% and the description should
   show %seo_description% – this will ensure your SEO title and SEO Description 
   that you set up via Rank Math can also be used for your schema details:
 * 3. The next step is to check if your title/description is properly set up in 
   the page source:
    [https://i.rankmath.com/HwXR1o](https://i.rankmath.com/HwXR1o)
 * You can use this tool for the same as well: [https://www.heymeta.com/](https://www.heymeta.com/)
 * 4. If it matches your settings, then you must check if Google has seen the changes
   already or not.
 * For that, please check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
    a. [https://i.rankmath.com/9q6X0H](https://i.rankmath.com/9q6X0H)
   b. [https://i.rankmath.com/R8N0Uh](https://i.rankmath.com/R8N0Uh)
 * If the cache date is from before adding the new meta description, then you just
   have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. 
   If the date is after you made the changes, then you just have to wait it out 
   and there is no further input needed from your end.
 * Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different
   meta title/description for your search keyword, there is nothing you can do as
   Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from
   the page’s content that matches the search intent better.
 * Here are some of the common reasons Google might not use the meta description
   you provided:
    – The meta description is not relevant or useful (ie, just a collection
   of keywords). – The exact same meta description is provided across a large number
   of pages. – The meta description doesn’t match what the user is searching for,
   but other content on the page does.
 * There is a whole article dedicated to this on SearchEngineJournal:
    [https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-offers-suggestions-for-avoiding-meta-description-rewrites/359884/](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-offers-suggestions-for-avoiding-meta-description-rewrites/359884/)
 * Here is an example showing Google changes title depending on the keyword used:
   
   [https://i.rankmath.com/oT6VQe](https://i.rankmath.com/oT6VQe) & [https://i.rankmath.com/Mrhb0x](https://i.rankmath.com/Mrhb0x)
 * The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of
   the search/keyword.
 * Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.
