How to add Meta description so google see it?

I understand that wix has a lot of tools to improving SEO. I have use them with good results. The only thing Im having problems is with meta description. When I check each page with https://pagespeed.web.dev it never find the meta description of the page which I is think is relevant for the overall SEO.

With static pages when I check the source code, the <meta name=description… does appear but “pagespeed.web.dev” somehow doesnt find it.

With dynamic pages the meta description is only added to the body of the page but not the header.

Anybody has any clue how can I improve this? Any workaround?

I’ll appreciate any help!

Wix SEO APIs may help you for this if you know how to code with JS and Velo.

Hi LoeiX, I have try using the api and also the internal tools for this, and when I do a code inspection the meta tags appeared… but in the body, no inside .

When I use wixSeoFrontend.metaTags I get also the meta description:

Sorry I couldn’t understand, does Google still doesn’t see the meta description? If so:

Can you share your page URL.

Yes, Google still doesn’t see the meta description (at least using PageSpeed Insights or Lighthouse). The meta description appears inside the body not the head (picture a show) .

The page (dynamic) is this: https://www.portalconstructor.cl/p1/arena-gruesa-chancada-con-despacho-a-la-obra

I would really appreciate any help! This thing is basic for the basic of my business :confused:.

I have tested with dev tools and yes you are right Google can’t see meta description. I will create a test website and then create a dynamic page, if same problem occurs on my end too maybe there is a BUG.

Good UI/UX by the way.

I will let you know asap. In the meantime, you can try to play with non-code settings if you haven’t. SEO settings in dashboard, page SEO settings in the Editor or default page SEO settings in the dashboard etc.

I didn’t have any problem with this even without wixSeo APIs both in dynamic and static pages.

Here is a dynamic page example.

@loeiks Interesting… Do you have Velo Code inside that pages? Because my pages have it. Could be that the reason?

No I didn’t have any code but I don’t think so it will change. But you can try to see.
