Google description showing latest post excerpt
-
In doing a search for our website, The Tech Block, I realized that our description is not showing what we have in our Yoast settings, but rather the content from the slider:
What can I do to fix this?
-
After a lot of pain, we figure out some of the issues. Problem is that Google hasn't seemed to index everything we've fixed. My guess is that it's just a matter of time?
-
Hey I see you got it fixed! Good job! What was the issue?
-
I can't figure out for the life of me why that's happening. I have everything filled out properly in Yoast....
-
Google wont display it until they crawl your site again but when I go to your website thetechblock.com and clear my cashe and view your source (Ctrl U) there is now no description at all.
-
Hey Billy,
I've filled and published a description, for some reason it's not showing up in Google search...
-
Go here and scroll down to section 1.3 - this should walk you through it.
-
I don't see at all in the source code. The changes are published on Yoast...
Could really use some help.

---edit---
I checked the source of your site and the description tag is empty...
Do you need to publish your changes?

Phone Number In Meta Description
People are more likely to call us, than email us. However, if they're using a mobile device, there's a click to call button on that site. My question is this: google does not include our phone number in our meta description. I could try to get the description changed, but it doesn't seem like it would make that big of a deal for just the desktop site. Am I missing something about the importance of the phone number on a desktop site? Any experience with this situation? Thanks, Ruben

Google Indexed Only 1 Page
Hi, I'm new and hope this forum can help me. I have recently resubmit my sitemap and Google only Indexed 1 Page. I can still see many of my old indexed pages in the SERP's? I have upgraded my template and graded all my pages to A's on SEOmoz, I have solid backlinks and have been building them over time. I have redirected all my 404 errors in .htaccess and removed /index.php from my url's. I have never done this before but my website runs perfect and all my pages redirect as I hoped. My site: www.FunerallCoverFinder.co.za How do I figure out what the problem is? Thanks in Advance!

Influencing Google Instant Preview
Hello there! I have been looking at how our articles are shown in Google Instant Previews. While the description in the SERPs picks up the first paragraph from the article from the main table/div body, the Instant Preview highlights a text ad in the top right of the side column. According to Google https://sites.google.com/site/webmasterhelpforum/en/faq-instant-previews Q: How can I influence the text highlighted in the preview image?
Technical SEO | | CleverPhD
A: The highlighted text is automatically chosen based on the user's search query. Only text that is visible on the page can be selected for highlighting. Google is highlighting the same block of text from an ad space over and over again. "Download our Free Guide ...." vs the first paragraph in the article. Any ideas folks?0 -
