Phrase Forum metatags vs. Branding / SEO & Social?

This is a good question @revote !

For our community, we have the meta description in place in the phrases tool but not in the SEO&SOCIAL. 

However the descriptions are in place both on Google and social media. 🤔

We have both meta descriptions, but with (totally) different texts 😀

Which one is showing (and where)? 😜

Actually, there are 3 different metatags in the Phrases:

I tested and they are displayed like this:

Google

Top row: Key: community name AND Key: Ask your question

Second row: Text from Branding → SEO & SOCIAL

This second row text is same than our Key: On the {forum} you can ask for help or participate in discussions.

Social media

Key: community.name

Hmm.

Well this is odd, I googled your community and for me the meta description is entirely missing and it comes from one of the topics.

I found another topic about this but it seems to come to another conclusion 🤔

Yeah, true. Meta description can´t be found from the first view, when viewing the search results. It can be found from the link “More results from...”.

I Googled your community and it seems that you have same behaviour.

Thanks, that was good link.

Yeah, compared with this:

Our 1 & 2 are the other way around. Your community is just like above. Hmm. Weird.

Edit: I create a ticket and ask why meta description isnt visible in the first view, and why our 1 & 2 are other way around.

I tested more, I searched Gainsight community. Their meta description can be seen in the first view and they have 1 & 2 just like we have.

This is weird, we haven't changed anything and now our community’s meta description is as it should - it can be seen from the first view.

Well this is odd, again. 

I googled your community and for me the meta description is again entirely missing and it comes from one of the topics 🤔

I tested with desktop and it was ok.

After your comment I tested with my mobile and I can see same than you - MD is missing.

As said, I asked this missing MD and the order of the phrases from Support. They forwarded my case to the engineers and I felt their response that I should not ask this kind of questions. And that they dont know why this have happened, maybe there is delay or something.

Because MD was displayed ok, when I tested again, ticket is now closed.

This is all I know at the moment.
