How do I control or edit google suggestions (snippets) in WordPress. I have tried editing the google suggestions (snippets) to no avail. Can anyone help?
The short answer is - you can’t. You can follow Google’s guidelines to suggest content, but at the end of the day, what is displayed is up to Google.
How snippets are created
Snippets are automatically created from page content. Snippets are designed to emphasize the page content that best relates to a user’s specific search: this means that a page might show different snippets for different searches.
Site owners have two main ways to suggest content for the snippets that we create: rich results and meta description tags.
- Rich results: Add structured data to your site to help Google understand the page: for example, a review, recipe, business, or event. Learn more about how rich results can improve your site’s listing in Search results.
- Meta description tags: Google sometimes uses
<meta>tag content to generate snippets, if we think they give users a more accurate description than can be taken directly from the page content.
