mjwilsonParticipantHello –
Back in March I had opened a ticket about the Google Search results for one of my sites. Our site was showing on the first page of Google, but instead of descriptive text, following our name, it was pulling a “quote” we were using from a customer in the “testimonial” banner on the index page.
You told me to set up Yoast and that would help.
So, I set it up months ago, and it isn’t working!
The same site I asked about back in March, is still showing a quote from the Testimonial Banner, although it is a different quote.
I DO have the description of my site, set up correctly, so I don’t think this is a “Yoast issue” but rather a “theme issue.”
Basic functionality for the index page of the site is to pull the descriptive text, right? So how come the theme doesn’t do this?
When I search for my other website on Google, it is also pulling text from some part of your theme, and not from the description of the site. It is also pulling the word “Handmade” and putting it in my title, because I started the website using your “Handmade” theme!
Yoast has been loaded on that site as well, for a few months.
While I am happy that my websites are showing up on the first page of Google, having erroneous information, in my titles and descriptions, isn’t helping much.
Do you have a fix for this?
Screen shots attached of how the search result shows on Google, for both sites.
Thanks

Artem TemosKeymasterHi,
We just checked one of your website and see that you didn’t change the title and even didn’t specify any keywords or your home page description
https://gyazo.com/a610d0074719ddd2230de1c446f3994a
https://gyazo.com/65dfae7ce2b6de1debc7095831a80c9aWe assume that you didn’t configure that for your second website as well. So you need to specify your meta information first and then Google will reindex your website and show the correct information.
Kind Regards

mjwilsonParticipantHi Artem –
I had the info in the “Settings” area of WordPress, as that is where I thought it pulled info from!
Now I see it on the actual “Home Page,” where the info has to go.
Thanks.

Artem TemosKeymasterHi,
Yes, you need to specify the information for each page for better SEO for your website. Yoast plugin helps you to configure this easily.
