Wrong description for my website in www.woorank.com

Leave a Comment

I was checking my website(http://pankajservers.in) here: https://www.woorank.com/en/www/pankajservers.in to check the issues for SEO and when I opened and in the left side there is Optimize SEO link.

Upon clicking SEO, it suggests the Description is of 39 chars. where as my website http://pankajservers.in has Description more then 39 chars and also it is not matching with my website index page Title.

Can someboy please suggest why it shows wrong description in the above website? It seems like it is stored somewhere.

The SEO page will be using a particular User-Agent to call the page and read the meta description and title tags.

Using cURL (and its default User-Agent) the description tag in the <head> of your page currently starts:

<meta name="description" content="Hire ... 

The text in the content section matches what is shown on the SEO page and is 39 characters.

You can check it with something like:

curl -s "http://<URL>" | grep "<meta name=.desc" 

where URL is the address of your site, for instance on stackoverflow.com:

curl -s "http://stackoverflow.com/" | grep "<meta name=.description" 

returns:

<meta name="description" content="Stack Overflow is the largest online community for programmers to learn, share their knowledge, and advance their careers"/> 

Changing the User-Agent, in curl produces a different set of meta tags:

Your description is 39 characters and it is true that it does not match with the title

description and title are two different things


title is the window title as the page is opened in a browser. It is also supposed to be the actual "title" of the page content.

When Google displays results usually shows the title (sometimes with other contents) as the first line of each result in blue.

title is specified with the omonimous tag in the head of the page.

If your page title is this:

<title>Login - Bug Management System. Manage your open/closed/pending bugs and new/changed requirements.</title> 

description is normally not shown by the browser when the user visits the page.

It is meant to be a short summary of the page contents.

Very often Google displays the description of one or more pages found as results of the query.

The description is specified in the head of the page source with the omonimous meta tag.

In your page description is this:

<meta name="description" content="Hire webinfosolutions at Freelancer.com"> 

And is exactly 39 characters
