That's not much to go on. Maybe if you show us a link we can provide more 
helpful advice. But regarding google specifically, these two links may shed 
some light:
http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html
http://www.google.com/webmasters/index.html

Essentially, I don't think Google puts very much weight on META tags as 
they're so easily spammed.

Are you referring to a paid listing, maybe?
