Whats the deal with the date at the start of the meta descriptions?
I have not really looked into this but I'm guessing its a blog thing?
The beautifully crafted meta description is now being cut short even though its within the character limit and is now only showing 36 characters!
Is there a way to remove this?
Thanks in advance

Google may be auto-including the date in the meta description if it appears near the start of the content. To avoid this, try moving the date further down in the HTML or using structured data to mark it separately. Starting the meta description with key phrases can also help focus Google on the main text.
take a look on this [ https://capcutaps.pro/] and let me know how do you feel about it. -
Check my meta description: षटतिला एकादशी व्रत कथा

@CraigAddyman A 36-character meta description ensures a concise, clear message that quickly captures user interest, aligns with a branding strategy, or fits design constraints while emphasizing key information.

Ensure your meta description is relevant and engaging. Sometimes, including the primary keyword closer to the beginning can help. Additionally, check for any conflicting plugins or settings in your CMS that might be affecting the display.

Sounds like Google likes this feature and will not remove it unless they figure users don't like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbpfjzEBAM

Can we change Title and/or Descriptions Dynamically Based on Search Query
If I recall we used to be able to change our title attributes tag dynamically based on the search query but not sure if it's possible now or if it makes sense to do so. Thoughts? Rosemary

Each page with a different meta description?

URL Domain Used in Meta Description
Today I was asked if using a domain url in your meta description can have a negative impact on your website. This description includes a list of the homepage url, but directs visitors to a different internal page of the website. My concern fell with directing visitors to a different page of the site, but promoting the homepage in the description/snippet. With Penguin 2.1 release on the 4th, I'm very cautious of my links/urls. What are your thoughts behind this? What are the possible, if any negative impacts this could have on a site? This URL does have a brand name as so the Title.
