Adding Company Name in Meta Title

Hello Jdphoenix,

Thanks for reaching out regarding your meta titles. Performing a site search, this image shows what I see from my end. Can you let me know which text is the company name that still shows and what you expect the title to look like?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there,

The company name is “Sky HarborTransportation Service”. It is being added at the end of my custom titles. You can see it on the ste search link you sent me. Thanks so much !

Thanks for the clarification.

Taking the homepage as an example, you have this as title:

<title>Sky Harbor Transportation Service | Airport Transportation Phoenix AZSky Harbor Transportation Service</title>

Please share a screenshot of what you have entered in the Yoast SEO metabox as the SEO title for that page? You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

Hi there,

Here are the screenshots for https://skyharbortransportation.com . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the helpful screenshots. The settings you have are fine but it’s strange that ‘Sky Harbor Transportation Service’ gets added to the title. I doubt this is coming from the Yoast SEO plugin. Can you temporarily deactivate our plugin and confirm if the issue persists?

When you deactivate it, view the page source to check what is present between the <title></title> tags

I believe this is the issue.. found this on header.php

<title><?php wp_title(‘|’, true, ‘right’); bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>

What should it be to make it compatible with YOAST?

Thanks so much.

Hi @jdphoenix

We’re not sure as to why it’s still showing the company name in the <title> tag field, but you might want to check this with your chosen theme and those settings, as we don’t believe this to be caused by the Yoast SEO plugin, as it already has the correct output in the SEO title field.

Hi, Michael,

The above code is from the child theme header.php file. What code should be used in replace of that so it is compatible with YOAST? Thanks so much for your help!

@jdphoenix

I suspect bloginfo(‘name’); on the title is showing up “Site Title” from Settings > General.

Change the title element to just this and see if it helps.

<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>
If you are not sure how to do this you may need to contact your theme developer for further assistance.

Okay, thank you. I will give it a shot. I believe this will work. Thanks so much.

Hi,

Best of luck in getting this resolved!
