Meta description and snippets

    Hi All,
    Even if I filled all the snippets fields in the YOAST Plug in per each page, when I search with google: npassociati

    the result is this one:
    http://nimb.ws/YVXzt8
    no any description is the one I filled in.

    This is what I filled in for the home page:
    http://nimb.ws/gzasVZ
    neither the Home meta description is the one I filled in.

    I have not changed anything in the advanced settings (following the home advanced settings)
    http://nimb.ws/GY8krW

    so the questions are:
    – how to make visible the right Meta descriptions for each page?
    – how to decide which snippet to show?

    the site is: npassociati.com

    thanks a lot

    After reviewing your site’s source code, the plugin outputs the correct description to your homepage and Google has received your preferred description. Ultimately Google will, as you have seen, make the final decision on what they show in their search results. Due to this being handled on Google’s end, there is little you can do to force Google to display the preferred description. The best advice I can provide, unfortunately, is to try different descriptions. This article provides advice on creating the right description for your site.

    thanks a lot.

    Just a point more.

    It might not be that Google needs more time to transpose and do see the right entered description?

    Is better too change immediately the new description as you suggest or better to wait some more time to see what happen?

    And if I change now the description How many time should I wait to see the new one?

    thanks

    @semiombra It can take up to a week for Google to index the changes you made, depending on how often your website is crawled.

    Sometimes you can speed up this process as described in this KB: Fetch as Googlebot
