Google isn't displaying the text description i would like in search results. How do i set this up / change it
You need to have description placed in your website header.php . Lol , look at your DP image & then look what you are asking.
haha, my DP is from years ago when I was advertising for someone else... never bothered to change it!
Do you have a wordpress site? If yes, install a SEO plugin like Yoast SEO. Then you can add a meta description on a per post/page basis. If no, you should edit your head section of the page(s) in question and add a <meta name="description" content="YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE"/> tag.
Add meta description to your page, you haven't added any description in your page that's why Google is not showing your description. Don't worry it is very simple process, just edit your head section of the page, in the tag "<meta name="description" content="YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE"/> tag. By adding description just index your web page in the Google and then you can see that your description will display in the search engine page.
Have a Wordpress platform You can us Plugins seo "yoast" and "all in one seo pack" then set Title and meta description. where display on google search result
