Title and Description tags hijacked?

  • Hello all, I have a weird meta issue.

    I am designing https://www.TEDxMadison.com. When you input, “TEDxMadison.com” on Google I get this result:

    [Title] Tantra for Women
    [URL] tedxmadison.com/
    [DESCRIPTION] Introductory classes in Tantra, weekend workshops and ongoing group workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area. Led by Evalena Rose.
    ?Tantra · ?Music/Photography · ?Health/Healing · ?Misc.

    I installed Yoast and made SEO changes to my individual pages hoping that might help? Anyone else have a more effective idea?

    Thanks!

    Remain calm and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

    Thanks

    I’ll have to get the hosting credentials for root access to do pretty much all of those suggestions so I will keep you all updated.

    Anyone else have this happen to them?

    It’s a very common hack, usually index.php or .htaccess has been modified to direct search bots to an alternate index file, therefore allowing them to index false results.

    The guide above will not only walk you through cleaning the symptoms, it will also walk you through removing and/or closing all common hack vectors. (If you only clean the symptoms without removing/closing the vector, the symptoms will easily re-appear.)
