    If you put ‘resettlement courses chesterfield’ into Google, third one down is our page – Resettlement Courses – Technique Learning Solutions, but it isn’t showing the meta description I set up for the page but rather just the text from the menu. Can anyone help please?
    It should be showing ‘Technique Learning Solutions Ltd is an approved learning provider for the Ministry of Defence Enhanced Learning Credit scheme from ELCAS’ and I have no idea why as the source code seems to be correct

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    After reviewing your site’s source code, we can confirm that the description in the source code is the one Google has stored in their cache.

    You searched for resettlement courses chesterfield which means Google scans the index for that exact phrase. Google uses the search term to highlight information in search results which is why the information is different than what you entered into the plugin.

    To see the meta title and description without search term manipulation, use the site search operator followed immediately by the URL of your site, post or page.
    site:example.com

    You can also see the cached version Google has for your site, post or page.
    cache:example.com

    Using these two search operators, we can confirm that the description output in the source code of this page matches the one shown in both of these. This means that Yoast SEO is working correctly.

    The description you enter in our snippet preview is a suggestion for Google. If you’ve crafted awesome descriptions for your blog posts, nothing is more annoying than Google showing another description for your site in the search results.

    Google’s generation of page description is completely automated. Google’s goal is to best represent and describe each result. They use a number of different sources to get this information. In doing so, they try to make the search results as relevant as possible. Due to this being handled on Google’s end, there is little you can do to force Google to display your preferred description.

    We have an extensive knowledge base article which can help you understand why Google is showing the wrong description for your site. Please refer to this article for additional details.

    Hello There,

    I have installed the Plugin and updated the Title and Meta Tag for my website. But that description is not reflecting on the website.

    I tried several times. Please Guide.

    Regards
