 * Hi guys, I’m looking at google and it’s giving a wrong description of my site,
   when I type: “elkepon” on google, it gives a random paragraph. How can I tell
   google what to write on that description?
 * Thanks
 * In case it’s needed for checking, the web is: elkepon.com

 * This is the meta-description for your home page:
    `<meta name="description" itemprop
   ="description" content="Website dedicated to provide free information to boost
   self-confidence, learn new skills and live a better life." />`
 * This is what google shows me
 * `we learnt how to setup a hacking lab to practice hacking, now, I will discuss
   ways to actually start hacking.`
 * Head over to Google webmaster tools and review what it’s seeing when it looks
   are your site.

 * The meta description is only a suggestion to Google; they do what they want.

 * So does that mean that I can’t changed what google shows on the result?:
 * This is what I get:

 * you get what you get. Google looks at the meta description, your site’s content,
   etc.
 * You do not have a WP problem; you have an SEO research question. 🙂
