  We wordpress.com bloggers do not have metadata access.

  WordPress.com has no control over search engines positioning or appearance in the SERPs (search engine page results). https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  re: meta description
  What’s important are the keywords in the site title and the tagline:

  Your Tag Line shows up now – if you don’t like that then a good place to start would be a different Tag Line and maybe Title

  Unless we are wise about how to use keywords and keyword phrases in the site title and tagline and we limit the total number of characters Google will choose exactly what will display.
