Main Meta Description on Google cannot change

Hi @ozgesila ,

 

You'll have to wait for Google to recrawl your site - at which point it will make the updates... probably. Google doesn't always use your own meta description, sometimes it generates its own - but generally it will.

 

You can either wait for Google to recrawl it at some point (could be some days), or you can request a recrawl using the Google Search Console Tools. I think they generally recrawl your site within 48 hours of the request being made, often sooner. If you're not already using the Search Console Tools, it's definitely worth setting up and keeping an eye on it from time-to-time, as it'll help you really understand how Google sees your site.

 

Hope that help.

 

Cheers,

Mike
