Meta Description Not Correct in SERPS

We checked on the page https://computer-repair-man.co.uk/computer-repair-in-evesham and did confirm that Yoast is outputting the correct meta description that you specified (see attachment):

<meta name="description" content="Your search for the most dependable computer & laptop repair service is over. Try our highly rated mobile computer repair service today. Same day service."/>

However, we do see that this is not the 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://kb.yoast.com/kb/my-meta-descriptions-arent-showing-up-in-the-search-result-pages/. If Google is ignoring the 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/.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

So The issue is that Google don’t think my meta descriptions are relevant to the page.
Perhaps they aren’t. I’ll have a rethink on those ??

Cheers
