How to hide text in a snippet?
Googles systems try to describe how this particular page might be helpful for the user's query. Google may show different texts depending on what was searched for. Usually, Google focuses on the description meta tag and sometimes Google uses text from the page too. The snippet shown is not a ranking factor. However, it can help users to choose which result to click on so it's kind of worth double-checking. In some situations you might not want to show specific things from the page itself, that might be dynamic content or just something you'd prefer only to show in the context of your own page. Recently Google introduced a way to let us know about the text you'd like to exclude. it's called the data no snippet attribute. You can apply this to specific HTML elements and Google will then know not to show that text within the snippet. Google has to recrawl and reprocess the page to find that so it won't be immediately. Changed there's more about this attribute as well as about other meta tags to control snippets in Google search developer's documentation. That's it for this time. I hope you found this useful and insightful see you in the next blog post.
