Why doesn't Moz read the right meta description?
-
We have a WordPress blog and Moz continues to read our site title as the meta description instead of the nicely crafted and SEO-friendly meta descriptions we are writing on each post in our Yoast plugin. Can someone help use understand why Moz is reading the site title rather than the post meta descriptions?
(We did test deleting the site title all together but then this made Moz think that there is no meta description for any of the posts.)

- Ok first you need to check your source code, probably you already did it, if so just ignore this step if not please check your source code using the dev tool of chrome, the thing is you need to check the HTML of your site. Title and Meta Description Tags.
- Update your Yoast Plugin based on your comments the source of the problem start with Yoast which honestly is not perfect and it had several issues and bugs recently.
- Deactive Yoast, Go to your dashboard and deactivate the plugin. Then you need to insert the Title and Meta Descriptions (manually) the tags that you want to insert on a single page and then run a test using the On-page Graderon this way you can determinate if the problem is Yoast or Moz.
- If you're still having trouble I will suggest you write to Moz support team [email protected]

Why hasn't my site info shown up yet?
I set up a campaign a few days ago (middle of last week) and the information still hasn't shown up. I figured that analytics were gathered weekly so I let it sit until Monday, but it still tells me to check back in 24 hours. Thanks for your help! Love the suite, by the way - lots and lots of great tools and easy enough to let my client see what's going on!
