    Homepage title doesn't show

    Posted 6 years 5 months ago
    • Hi there I've got an issue on a few of my sites where the meta title doesn't show on the homepage in Google's results.

      It shows in the homepage on the site when you hover on the tab so I think it is working but I'm not entirely sure why Google is not showing the result.

      Can anyone help me to understand the reason?

      I've submitted my sitemap to Google Search Console

    • Ask Google to recrawl your site via Google webmaster tools. There's nothing wrong with the title of meta description on your site.

      Be aware that is google thinks it know better it will ignore what you put in those fields in favour of its own information - it's a complex thing to explain but if you look at google documentation then it does explain how it goes about this.

    • Thanks for looking. I came to the same conclusion. I have resubmitted the sitemap but that hasn't helped. BUt fair enough, I'll see if anyone else has a different answer, and if not, assume that it is what it is.

      Thanks again

    • If you google "google search results not showing corrrect title" you will see lots of explanations (including from google) that explains why in a lot of case google thinks it knows better and ignore what you put in title and description.
