Hi
The content for the recipe pages on this website (https://www.crumpetman.com/recipes/anniversary-crumpets) are created via a Custom Module.
Each recipe has different SEO Meta Title and Meta Description added to it.
Is it possible to see if Google is seeing the Meta Description, my client doesnt think it is, but I am unsure how I can check this - or if I need to adjust some coding.
Any hints and tips on how to fix this please??
Thank you
Dawn
Hi Dawn,
I ran a website audit on your page and attached the pdf report link!
Wow Kevin, thank you so much, this is a fantastic insight, I really like the programme you have used to run these reports, especially the tips on what the results mean and how it can be fixed. Thank you so much. Is the software you have used to generate the report something you have developed yourself or is this something openly available to license?
Amongst the many things that the report has flagged up that need attention, it does look like the meta descriptions are not showing on the recipe pages - on the template in the header I have used this bit of coding
At the top of every page you have a “Settings” and “SEO” tab!
Here is the link to the SEO software I use.
Hi @Dawn.
The Liquid property you have there should be {{this['MetaDescription']}}.
However, you do not need to add the meta tag at all.
If you populate the Meta Description in the SEO section of a page or module item, the system will automatically add it for you.
For more info on this check out the documentation for the SEO section here:

Hi Adam
The client has populated the Meta Description in the SEO section of each custom module but only the Title is showing the Meta description is not showing automatically
Yes, you’ll need to remove the meta description tag you have in the template. The system won’t override yours.
Hi Adam
I have removed all meta description tags - but it is still not showing the Meta Description in the SEO section of each custom module that the client has added to each Recipe eg https://www.crumpetman.com/recipes/anniversary-crumpets
Do you know if this functionality should be working or is this another Treepl backlog issue
Thank you
Dawn
Hi Adam
I am afraid it is still not showing correctly in google. Please see attached image - the top shows what Google is showing and the bottom image shows what has been added to treepl SEO
It might be that Google hasn’t crawled that page since you made your changes. But also, Google doesn’t necessarily display the meta description on its search engine results page. What it displays as the description can depend on what search terms were being searched.
Thank you, I didnt know that, I will let my client know - I can never quite keep up with the dark world of Google and SEO
