Incorrect Meta Description pops up in search results

  • When I used to do a search on google, my website would pop up and the meta description for my homepage would be under it. I added 2 new pages to my site, FAQ and Testimonials. Now when a search is done, my website pops up, but the meta description for one of the new pages pops up. This has caused me to drop in search engine rankings. I need to figure out how to get my homepage meta description to pop up first again like it used to.
    Thanks

  • Have you added all META Tags correctly? And it takes about 3/4 weeks for Google to crawl your site.

    How could I have added them incorrectly? I entered what I wanted it to say in the meta description. I added the testimonials page 4 days ago and it is the one popping up in search results. On Google Webmaster tools it says my site is being crawled as many as 92 times per day!

    Can you give me the link to your website & the page with incorrect description & and your description.

    In my admin panel the description for the homepage is correct. When a google search is performed, the meta description for my testimonials page shows up under my homepage description. Does that make sense? For security reasons I cannot give you access to my admin panel. Thank you for your help!

    Following description is appearing of your site on the Google search results:

    Ice Sculptures for any Event. Colorado Ice Sculptures has been serving the Front Range for over 25 years. Corporate Events – Weddings – Holidays – Ice Bars …

    The above meta has been added to your website’s header. Is it correct?

    If it’s not what you want to display on your website’s homepage then visit your Dashboard > SEO > Titles & Metas and add your description to “Meta description template:” textbox.

    That is correct. What is on the homepage is correct. If you do a google search for ice sculpture Denver the meta description does not come up for the homepage…the description comes up from the Testimonials page.

    Below is the meta description for my homepage that I just took from my admin panel…

    Colorado Ice Sculptures has been in business for over 25 years. Primarily serving Denver and Colorado Springs. Ice Carving, Ice Luge

    The above 2 lines is what I need to come up in the search results! Does that make sense?

    Yup! There’s some problem in it. I guess it’s nothing but some crawling issues, which will be fixed soon.
