Google does not display meta description
-
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
