New page titles not updating in Google results even though recrawlled
-
I have updated the page title of a website - it's a top product page and very high authority (64 PA on a 63 DA). The page has been recrawlled and the cache updated - but the page tiltle in the Google snippet is still the same. Any ideas?
-
Yeah I've seen the SERT articles. Though I've actually discovered that it was being caused by what I was searching. When I found the page via the product name, the title displayed as "Product Name - Company Name" - but when I searched for the keywords I've optimized for, they appeared in the title as desired. Didn't know Google did that... do now!
-
Google is also known to choose their own title to display and disregard your title. Search Engine Roundtable has reported on that multiple times now, and I've seen many reports in here too.
-
The brand name - either 'deep freeze' or 'anti executable'. I think it might just take some time for the index to fully update. I've upped the crawl rate on the site - hopefully if gbot hits more often it will update quicker.
Thanks!
-
yeah I see the same as you, but what I'm seeing is normal. I've seen it take weeks to update the actual page title in Google's index, etc. Did you get your info as to when it was last crawled from Webmaster Tools?

Woops - on mobile.

Old: Deep Freeze Enterprise
New: System Restore Software - Award Winning Protection | Faronics Deep Freeze

Old: Anti-Executable Enterprise - Faronics
New: Application Whilelisting and Application Control | Faronics Anti-Executable
Only recrawled today - perhaps it just hasn't updated yet? Just strange that cache and snippet don't match.
Thanks!!

what search query are you googling when you see the wrong title
-
Also www.faronics.com/enterprise/anti-executable/
Check the google result for that page versus the actual page title - quite strange.

need the old and new page titles...
-
-
hey Chris - what is the page URL? I can search it on my end and see if its updated to the new title. Sometimes cache (even when cleared) can be pretty stubborn. You many not be seeing what everyone else is seeing.
Also let me know what the old and new page titles are...

301 redirected all my pages to my new domain, now I have a problem with Google Search Console
Hi guys! I bought a new domain name and redirected all my URLs from the old domain to the new one. Everything worked perfectly but now I have a little problem. I want to use the option 'Address Change' in google search console. Step 1 Works (Select new website in the list) Step 2 Works (Confirm that the 301 are working) Step 3 Asks me to Verify the old domain (huh!?) in order to complete the request. Obviously that doesn't work because my 301s WORKS! So if I try to verify the old website by putting a google file in the root of my domain Google tries to access it and it automatically redirects to the new domain. I must be missing something lol help!

Google Search Results Flip-Flop
For a site we manage, Google can’t seem to decide which of two pages to present for a search for “skid steer attachments.” Almost weekly, it flip-flops from the home page to an interior page (which is a shopping cart category page that we have not actually optimized for the phrase.) The site is berlon.com. Have any of you had a similar experience and, if so, how did you address it? I’ve attached a Moz screen shot that shows the changes. mNfmJoY

How to get Google to index another page
Hi, I will try to make my question clear, although it is a bit complex. For my site the most important keyword is "Insurance" or at least the danish variation of this. My problem is that Google are'nt indexing my frontpage on this, but are indexing a subpage - www.mydomain.dk/insurance instead of www.mydomain.dk. My link bulding will be to subpages and to my main domain, but i wont be able to get that many links to www.mydomain.dk/insurance. So im interested in making my frontpage the page that is my main page for the keyword insurance, but without just blowing the traffic im getting from the subpage at the moment. Is there any solutions to do this? Thanks in advance.
