Hello Friends,

Google is not reading meta data of my webpage.
Its shows content of my page in SERP instead of meta data.

Can someone help me to find the solution behind it.

Thanks in advance.

    Perhaps, you have added the meta description improperly, but that`s quite hard to tell without knowing the page. Check if there`s only one meta description tag in the head of your page and if it`s accurate and not empty.

    Google constantly shows things that are different than the meta descriptions you enter. This is normal and sometimes it is a good thing.

    They typically do it if the meta description you have entered is underperforming relative to its search position. They substitute words on your page that their algorithm has determined get a better click-through-rate.
