I have written meta descriptions for all my category pages but they don’t show up in Google. Is there a way to change that?

Hi,
Those should be display in google if you use a seo plugin as yoast -> https://i.imgur.com/BAa1cFx.png you just need to make sure that the category was indexed after you made the changes or re-index the category.
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply. I’m using Rankmath and the categories as well as the pages are indexed but show no meta description. For that reason I contacted the plugin developer from Rankmath and got the following answer:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting support.

RankMath does not fully support tagdiv composer right now but We have added API access to the content analysis in the Rank Math plugin to make content from page builder plugins readable by Rank Math ( such as the one in this case).

You would need to contact the developer of the plugin you mentioned by showing the following link:
https://rankmath.com/kb/content-analysis-api/

Many known companies have already added the compatibility, as it takes a few hours:
https://rankmath.com/compatibility/divi/
https://rankmath.com/compatibility/elementor/
https://rankmath.com/compatibility/themify-builder/
https://rankmath.com/compatibility/page-builder-framework/
https://rankmath.com/compatibility/flothemes/

We hope that helps. Please let us know if there’s anything else you need our assistance with. More than happy to help.

So, for me that means that something is not working correctly. Will the compatibility be fixed in the next update? If not, do you have any recommendations for a seo plugin?

Hi Topfgartenwelt, the SEO plugin that we recommend SEO Yoast plugin.
Also I informed our developers abut the api that you provided and the plugin was added on our list of suggestion, unfortunately I can not promise that it will be add, or when it will be ad.
Thank you!

Ok, thanks for your information. I did a lot of research concerning SEO-Plugins and Rank Math is much more leight weighter than Yoast, because you have the possibility to deactivate blocks which are not used. It’s something important when looking forward to the Google Web Core Vitals coming in 2020. In addition it offers a hughe offer for free and the premium version is very usefull in connection with keywords, page speed optimization and so on. It would be great if you will take a closer look to the API. Most of the others already did 🙂
