This thread made me realise that our Meta data was not properly optimised for "casino" keywords. I was too cautious in the beginning as I didn't want Google to see our Meta data as spammy. However, we have now started optimising the SEO titles, H1 titles and adding some keywords in the text, and we are already seeing great results.
Thanks everyone and especially gm2891 for the advice!

I also change at the moment when I change the content on the page
I support the idea of dont changes too.
What we usually do is:
go on GSC filter lowest positions and do changes on bottom 10
In some cases automated, in other cases once a year to test for optimization.

i change typically when the page is updated, usually a couple of times a year for money pages
I optimize them better when i have more data from google about searches
when i make my content more comprehensive i make small touches in meta and title
I change it if the impression is high but not getting as many clicks.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I too have noticed that making small changes to a site's metadata can make a big difference in its visibility and performance in search results.
Agree with this. You should change meta and title to reflect changes in the content. Especially if you for example also mention in the meta something like "our top casino in May is X". What I'd suggest, especially if you have a lot of pages to update, is to create a few shortcodes for month, year, top casino, or whatever else you might need. Go through your evergreen pages and replace these gradually and that way you soon don't have to worry about manually updating your titles or meta.
Interesting question!
I typically conduct a SERP analysis on a monthly basis as well. Like you, I've noticed fluctuations in the SERP rankings, but overall, I've seen positive results too. It's always fascinating to observe how search engine algorithms evolve and how our strategies adapt to these changes.
I believe that there is often no need to change the TDH. But if you see that your page isn't improving in the rankings, it might be worth paying attention to your TDH. Maybe your competitors have something that you don't.
As others have said, I don't think there is any need to change it.
We change them very rarely. However, we have experimented with passing variables (numbers) into the meta description. Some crypto sites like Coin Market Cap do this well.
I usually perform SEO audits on my site every couple of months. It helps me stay on top of any changes in SERP and ensures my site remains optimized. I've noticed improvements in rankings and traffic, which I attribute partly to these audits. How often do others here conduct SEO audits, and what kind of results have you seen?
I update my meta titles and descriptions every 3-6 months to keep them fresh and aligned with SEO trends. If I see a drop in click-through rates or search ranking, I adjust them sooner.
