    Heya,

    So I dont want a page title to be visible on my page; https://www.half-glassed.com but the problem is when I remove the title, a google search comes up with the content as the title. if you google “half-glassed.com” you will see it uses the first heading as the site name.

    What can I do to make a google search result show the name of my site “Half-Glassed”, and not anything else- without having the site title on the home page visible.

    Whilst we’re at it, how can i change the sub text too? like the text under the title.

    get me? Any help would be super dooper!

    Thanks guys!

    Glenn

  • try to use css to move the site title and description from the screen;

    example:

    #headerimg h1, .description { text-indent: -9999px; height: 1px; }

    and I’m a little confused by that coding, sorry im a newb…

    Do i put that into custom CSS?

    Cheers!

    #post-2 #usquare_9 .usquare_square_text_wrapper {
	display: none;
}

    This still leaves the white background image for this content area.

    I think maybe I didn’t explain myself well, sorry.

    I dont want to get rid of the “About” bit. Because i have removed my site title, google search results show the next best thing; my content.

    I want my site to have no site title like it has now, but i want google to show “half-Glassed” as a search result not “Green Glasses”. https://tinypic.com/r/33xbnms/5

    It shows “green Glasses” because i dont have a site title and has used the next best thing. How to I stop it from showing the next best thing and make it show what my site title WOULD have been if it was there…

    Get me now :/

    THANKS HEAPS FOR YOUR HELP SO FAR THOUGH!

    Do i put that into custom CSS?

    yes – good idea.

    thanks! but what will show up in google then when i search for my site?

    once you have entered the site title and tagline back in under dashboard – settings – general, your theme or a seo plugin would be able to use them in the meta title tag, for instance, where search engines will pick it up.

    If you’re right, I cant thank you enough!

    So I did it and inserted my site title but google still shows the old one. I’m guessing it just takes time?

    Also, any idea how to change the secondary description (the text under the title) in Google?

    Thanks again!!!!

    google will take time …

    how to change the secondary description (the text under the title) in Google?

    if and where the tagline is output into the meta title and/or any meta descriptions, will depned on your theme or on your used seo plugin and what you enter into the settings – and if google will show the description or not is down to google.
