Read the discuss below, we share some tips to fix the issue about Incorrect Meta information in Google.Problem :

Google shows up incorrect meta info (title & description) in search engine results for an add domain and the information is of the domain which is the primary domain of the hosting account. I mentioned this fact because add-on domains are in a sub-directory of the primary domain.

Any ideas what could be the reason?

Solution :

Looks like there is something wrong with Google's cached copy of the site - the "Cached" link throws an error on that search.

Do you see any crawl errors or inconsistencies in Google Webmaster Tools for the domain?

Update:

Google's cache of the site shows the content from your primary domain - my best guess would be that this issue will resolve itself once Googlebot revisits your domain unless there is an issue with the site's configuration.

If you do not have administrative access to you should investigate the site's configuration with the administrator: if requests with a Googlebot user agent show irregular content lengths in the webserver logs, check the site's scripts and webserver configuration for any directives which are conditionally presenting the main site's content. (could be a case of un/intentional page cloaking)

Google displays a title and snippet in its search results.

Google has the right to display anything in those spots.

If the pages title tag and meta description match well with the users search and the pages content, then they tend to use them.

If not, they may look into the content, or even further to find relevant text to display.

So, I would assume your title & description don't match well with the search or content.

If the issue about google-search, , , is resolved, there’s a good chance that your content will get indexed and you’ll start to show up in Google search results. This means a greater chance to drive organic search traffic to your site.
