Whenever you make changes to the title tags and meta descriptions of your site's pages, search engines need to crawl these changes before they can appear in search results. This process of recrawling your site can take some time.
If the incorrect information still appears in search results after some time, you can send a request to Google to recrawl the page.

Manually requesting a recrawl
If you want changes that you make to title tags and meta descriptions to appear quicker, some search engines allow you to request that they recrawl a page.
For example, for Google search results you can use Google Search Console to manually request indexing for the page.
Important:
- Requesting a recrawl does not guarantee that your page's search result will update quicker.
- Make sure to publish your changes before you request a recrawl.
