Meta description not showin in Google snippets

Hi Karsten,
normally I don’t appear in this part of forum, but I’ve noticed your question from previous Hueman thread.

No, again it’s not Yoast’s plugin issue, but Big “G” that rules the www universe and behaves as they like.
They reserve all rights to put anything they like in your meta description, suppose soon they will start to change our titles and links also, why not when they no better then us ??

If you don’t believe me, read Yoast’s post https://yoast.com/google-page-title/ – kidding and quoting a part of Google official webmaster statement on https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35624?hl=en
(you can also have fun watching video with their Mickey Mouse PR, he is every SEO’s worst nightmare ??

As you see, being SEO in Big “G” evil universe is really a tough life…
Hope this helped a bit.
And BTW, I’ve checked your main page in index – they’ve used your meta description. So, it is not NEVER ??

Cheers,
Mike

Hmmmm – I used to have the YOAST snippets appear in Google search, but now I’m using SSL, they never appear:
Google search –

Thanks

hurra03

It’s similar issue as one described above – Big G reserves exclusive right to do what they want.
Some posts from G “masterminds” on this:

-and some by Barry Scshwartz (very good SEO guy IMHO)

+ they even do this

So – with Big G you are never sure – you can do everything perfect, but they always knows better … ??
