Hi, I wasn't sure if I'm doing Mega Tags through DW correctly.

I updated mega tags for the site yesterday that I'm working on. But did google search today, the old text snippet is still there. What should I need to do, or am I doing it right or not??

Here's the mega tags I updated to the server:

<meta name="keywords" content="Mapp & Hession Pharmacy - Online Pharmacy Information">

<meta name="description" content="Murwillumbah-based pharmacy with online information for health care and medical information, selling health and beauty supplies, and prescription medicines. The site is an online resource to obtain information for health, natural remedies, beauty, travel and baby. Private natural consultations every Monday. For more information view our website.

<meta name="keywords" content="Company Name">

<meta name="keywords" content="Online Pharmacy Information">

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

well as meta tag are not used for ranking it doesn't really matter.
but,

you have 3 lots of meta keywords and none are formatted in an ideal way for the few engines that do use them.

One only, and it should be a short 10 to 15 words/phrases related to the page separated by spaces or commas. repeated words should be kept to a minimum.

your description is far too long, 15 to 20 words should be enough. It should written as if it's the first text users will see. Because if it's done properly and matches the phrases for the page it may well be used as the text snippet in the SERPs.
Think of it as the first chance to make an impression.

Thanks for your valuable help!
