SEO update takes how much time?

I had one site built with wordpress and installed yoast SEO plugin in it.

By default yoast SEO plugin takes title of the post as content in SEO.

By going there in to field I updated SEO information what I wanted to show.

So my question is how can I update that SEO content in google?

Is there any way to tell google that I had updated content so update it?

To make sure Yoast is working properly, you can View Source on the page and look for the title tag and the meta name="description" tag. These should match what you put into Yoast. This information will be updated in Google the next time the Bot visits your site - generally within 3-5 days.

However, it is only a guideline. The goal of Google's search snippets is to show the user how the content on your site relates to the users query. Therefore, there's no guarantee that Yoast's mockup of the Google snippet will look like what users will see when they search for you, it all depends on the exact query.
