InterestingI hadn’t never thought the simple ways Google thinks. The truth of the matter is that while Google looks at your page multiple times, it still takes a metric tonne of due effort on your part to get a website to become “relevent” to the big G. I guess this adds to my knowledge of SEO!

Hi Meg,

IF your existing Meta Description tag is what Google is using to describe your site in the snippet, then by changing your Description, one of two things will happen.

Either Google will automatically revert to the new description, OR, they will pull a new description from somewhere else. Regardless, the description being used currently will ultimately be removed.

There is no need to try and contact Google (and even if you did, they are highly unlikely to do anything for you anyways)

If Google is displaying a description as taken from part of your site content, and not your Description Meta tag, then try slightly altering the content where it is pulling form. That may help influence what is being used.

So If I would like to change my description and it is based on my meeta tags, when I change my meta tag description will google eventually change it to the new one, or do I have to contact them some how?
