    Hi,

    I have a problem with all the tag titles of my site (pages, articles, etc. ..).

    In the search engine display (google, bing, etc..) the site title is displayed twice.

    I’ve created custom titles for every page. On the search engine results page I can see the customized titles but also it adds automatically a new site name.

    In the search appearance settings this is the title shown: Title – Separator – Site title.

    On the search engine instead I see: Title – Separator – Site title – Site title

    You can find an example of the problem in the link but in reality it affects practically all the title tags of the site.

    Can you help me?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @francescoemanuele

    Upon searching the given page on the Google search result, we do see the SEO Title of the page being outputted on the search result vs the page source code is bit different.

    Google search result: Il nostro Team | Social Media Agency ADV+ - ADVPlus

    Page source: <title>Il nostro Team | Social Media Agency ADV+</title> (SEO Title you set in Yoast SEO)

    As it seems, the title outputted on the page source code is what you expected to appear on the Google search result as well, we understand this is not happening for some reason.

    We recommend using the Fetch As Google feature. This will prompt Google to update its index and implementing your preferences. We also have a guide on using the ‘Fetch as Googlebot’ feature here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/fetch-as-googlebot/.

    We have additional information on this here: Google Shows The Wrong Meta Title For My Site

    So I should just go from the GSC and request indexing for every single page?

    Hi,

    Depending on how many pages you have, you could try that. The alternative would be to

    1. Clear all your caching from your theme, plugin, server, CDN like CloudFlare or browser. If you are not sure how to clear caching from theme/plugin please speak to those authors. If you want to clear cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser use this guide:?https://yoast.com/help/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/.

    2. Delete your sitemap in Google. Doing so will not hurt the SEO of the site. This guide explains more (scroll to the bottom):?https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183669?hl=en.

    For Bing it appears you can resubmit it using this guide: https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/sitemaps-3b5cf6ed

    3. Submit the sitemap again. Be sure to submit only sitemap_index.xml and nothing else.?This guide explains more:?https://yoast.com/help/submit-sitemap-search-engines/.

    4. Monitor the results to see if the issue resolves.

    If it doesn’t it is Google changing the title in the SERPs to improve it.
