      Hey!

      When I googled my website (to check the ranking), I discovered that Google does not show the meta description that I put in Lay Options -> Meta -> Website Description. Instead, Google shows the names of the first projects on the site.

      Is there anything I can do about it?

      Thank you!
      Sarah!!

        Oh, and I put the meta description there months ago, it's not a new one.

          Hi Sarah,

          best is you install the plugin YOAST.
          We have the experience that Google will then take the right description.

          Best!

            Thank you - but I already have Yoast installed ... :-/

            Actually I was thinking if perhaps that is the problem: That Yoast somehow "overwrites" the description given in the Lay Options? Is that a thing?? While Yoast allows me to edit the snippet for each project-page, I don't find the possibility to edit the snippet for the "Home"-page (I can change the snippet for the category-page, but although this also functions as my "Home"-page, the url is different).

            Can you tell me where to change the snippet/meta for the Homepage with Yoast? Or is there no point in it and the problem is a different one?

            Best regards!
            Sarah

            Before you post

            Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

            1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
            2. Disable all Plugins
            3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
            4. Now see if your problem solved itself
            5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
            Troubleshooting

            When you post:
            1. Post a link to where the problem is
            2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

            Thanks!
