    Hi there,

    We have the following issue with the appearance ont the Google SERP:

    • Many of our pages in the SERP don’t show the intended page title and description (which is set up in Yoast) but some other generated content.
    • Many of our pages in the SERP don’t show the intended Website name on top of our entry (as it is the standard and configured in Yoast), but the website domain.

    You can see the SERP here: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ayacht.rosenberg.world

    What’s wrong here and how can we fix it to show the intended information?

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

    @christopherrosenberg We apologize for the delay in responding.

    Regarding your issue,

    We checked on the page here and did confirm that Yoast is outputting the following for the title and meta description:

    <title>Superyachts and Curated Luxury Experiences by ROSENBERG</title>
<meta name="description" content="The curated ROSENBERG Collection offer you the most impressive yachts available for charter, combined with outstanding lifestyle experiences." />

    However, we do see that this is not the exact title and meta description that Google is indexing in a search here.

    ?Whereas Google typically uses the meta description from the metadata for indexing, this is not always the case. Google will sometimes modify or ignore the meta description when it sees fit. This is not due to the plugin not functioning as expected, but rather is due to Google using another value for the meta description it indexes as it’s algorithm has concluded that there is a better version to index.

    We have additional information on this here: https://yoast.com/help/my-meta-descriptions-arent-showing-up-in-the-search-result-pages/ and here: https://yoast.com/help/my-seo-title-isnt-displayed-as-i-have-entered-it/.

    If Google is ignoring the title or meta description you have created for a page and creating it’s own description based off the page’s content, we would recommend creating a new meta description that reflect’s the page’s content. We have an article on how to write clean and meaningful meta description for your pages and posts by following the steps given in this guide. https://yoast.com/meta-descriptions/.
