How do I improve what shows on my Google search?

Willson Cummer

When I search for "Willson Cummer," my Smugmug site comes up first, which is great. But is there a way to change the descriptive words that show up from "The ultimate in photo sharing..." to something about ME?
Thanks!

I don't see anything yet...
Andy, I need help: what part of your detailed post on search engines tells me how to get rid of the "The ultimate in photo sharing. Easily create online photo albums. Share, store, organize and print." If I put text in the header will that replace the Smugmug-specific info?
Thanks

The meta part, in the bio box. And then do all the rest, and over time, you'll see improved links that get indexed.

Thanks!
I gave that a try. I'll see if Google starts changing what it says when my site pops up. I'm completely happy with the searchability of my site, just not the text that Google picks up: "The ultimate in photo sharing. Easily create online photo albums. Share, store, organize and print."
Thanks for your help, Andy!

Andy, I have done almost everything that have been suggested.
In my Popular photos meta data I still see:
"The ultimate in photo sharing. Easily create online photo albums. Share, store, organize and print"
and
"online photo albums,photo sharing,photo hosting,photo storage,albums,photo albums,photo,sharing,picture sharing,share photos,photo galleries,photo gallery,photos,photographs,online gallery,picture gallery,picture galleries,onlinegalleries,smugmug gallery,smugmug,smug mug,smugmug photos,images,image galleries, image gallery,gallery hosting,galleries hosting,hosting"

Is this going to change in the insane new pro service pro service coming?
