  Go to settings > general in your dashboard and it is the “tagline.” Edit it and then make sure and click “save changes.

  We cannot control or influence what Google choose to display. They select the snippets and we have no input into what they select at all.

  Apparently it has something to do with meta tags.

  Yes it does. This is a multiuser blogging platform and we cannot access meta data nor do we need to as Google has clearly stated they no longer use it.They have an algorithm that is set up to select the snippets they choose to display.
  Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking

  Not concearning the ranking, just the description in the search results of Google, or any other search engine.

  That’s correct and it’s what I told you the first time I posted into this thread. Google does not use meta data. We cannot access metadata. We cannot control or influence what Google choose to display. They select the snippets and we have no input into what they select at all.

  Either the text in your posts contains keywords or it doesn’t. The new algorithm is set up to seek consistency. So if you use keywords and keywords phrases in a title or your subtitles and they are not found in the text in your posts that is now detected.
