Google homepage seo title incorrect

  • I have a title listed in my “titles & metas -yoast SEO” homepage tab, as well as my site title under general settings (both list the same title). Yet google lists my homepage site title as something totally different. (Just lists my name, which is not helpful or relevant to search terms entered to bring up my site.

    Bing and Yahoo both list the correct homepage title.

    How can I correct this?

    Thanks in advance. Phil

  • Dear PhilHache,

    Can you verify that the title you entered in the Yoast SEO Box is correctly outputted in the source of your website? So is it actually between the <title> and </title> tag in your HTML?

    If it is and it is correctly picked up by Bing and Yahoo it might be case of Google simply not ‘respecting’ your title. If the algorithm thinks it can compile a better title itself that might be reflected there, despite your own efforts to let it display the title you personally created.

    Furthermore if you have made these changes recently it could be the case that Google (robots) have not picked it up yet. When you go to Google Webmaster you could manually ‘Fetch as Google’ the specific page and then ask to index it.

    Hope this helps and provides some clues as why this behavior might be occurring.
    If my post solved your issue, please mark this topic as resolved.
