Comment:

 Echoing what @Otto42 and @dd32 said.

 Users search in lots of different ways, and Google will often replace your
 description with a different one (or synthesize one from scratch) when it
 thinks that there's a better match for the user/query in question.

 if your description is generic, spammy or self-serving, that's likely to
 happen more often.

 Closing as invalid; sorry!
