Yoast snippets do not show on Google Search Results

i have the same problem

I have the same problem ?? although most of mine were auto generated but it’s not working

I’m wondering about this myself – I’m sure there’s some lag period between when you would change those snippets, and when they’d appear on Google…but how long is that lag?

Been a couple days for me, and not seeing any changes…on multiple sites.

Seriously…it’s been over a week, and the meta descriptions are not being picked up by Google, on a large number of sites that I did.

I’m not inclined to pay money for a product that clearly isn’t doing what it says on the tin – at the moment it’s unclear that it does anything at all.

Doesn’t anyone have any kind of input to this issue?

Having the same problem

I have the same problem, I think it has something to do with the meta robots noodp, Even if you put “none” it still adds noodp. Looks like this has been going for a while and no reply from the developers, I know they are asking to submit bugs through their github page but most people just want to read the solution instead of waiting for a reply. Sorry guys but you’re getting a one star from me.

Having the same problem. Anyone?

Ahh yes rating a product poorly because you don’t understand how search engines work.

Now let me explain how to troubleshoot. Go into webmaster tools and choose fetch and render with the Google bot. If you have no traffic and few pages the bot will not update frequently. Fetch and render normally updates the description within 24 hours

Ahh yes giving out “authoritative” advice that doesn’t actually work.

To be safe I tried it on more than one site, and waited 2 weeks now to see if it did anything.

It didn’t.

Hmm, at the moment I don’t see Yoast installed, but perhaps you have disabled it by now.

Be aware that even if Yoast sets the title and description correctly for you, Google is not obliged to copy them. You simply can’t force Google to copy what you want in their search results. Perhaps this is the case here as well?
Google seems to do this more and more often, actually. Perhaps because people resort to stuffing their descriptions an titles with less meaningful content.

On the risk of repeating myself in several topics: I support several websites that have different titles than I specify in the settings, as well as different descriptions. (Both wordpress and non-wordpress sites.)

About title tags being different from your settings in the actual live SERP in general, Joost writes this: https://yoast.com/google-page-title/

I think this applies to the description/snippet as well.
