If you notice Google changing your meta descriptions in search results, pay attention to the changes they’ve made, see what you can learn from it, and adjust moving forward. At the same time, if you see Google consistently displaying the meta description you’ve written, take that as some assurance that you’re doing something right. At the end of the day, think of it as a learning opportunity, and a chance to work with Google’s algorithm changes, rather than trying to push against it. And remember, high-quality content written for the user first is always best practice.
