Hi,

 

I'm looking for help on how what code or setting to change in order for our websites Google page title to have the Title instead of the URL.

 

Please see the screenshot below. I would like cleardeals.com.au to say Clear Deals instead. Where can i change this?

Hi @daniellim You can change the title from the here - 
1. Go to Online Store > Preferences > Homepage Title

2. Enter title to "Clear Deals - Australia" and wait for few days to crawl and index your webpage again after that Google will show Title instead of URL. for reference see screenshot

Hi,

 

The name "Clear Deals" is already in the preferences but it wasn't picked up by Google.

 

Thanks,

Daniel

@daniellim That's why I told you to keep the name "Clear Deals - Australia" because it is the new name for Google and when Google crawl this page and index your issue will fix once the issue fixed just change the name again to Clear Deals to re-index again.

Hello @daniellim ,

 

To resolve this, you need to edit the "Title" tag of your website's code:

  • Go to Online Store -> Theme -> Actions -> Edit code 

Screen Shot 2023-04-10 at 11.13.01.png

  • Go to Layout folder -> theme.liquid file 
  • Look for the "<title>" tag in the head section of the code.
    Change the text between the "<title>" and "</title>" tags to the title you want to appear on the Google page, in this case, "Clear Deals".
  • Save and test

Hope this can help you out.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I checked the code but the "<title>" tag was missing. Should i add this tag into the the code in the head section of the code?

 

So "<title>Clear Deals</title> into the head section of the code?

 

Thanks,

Daniel

You can add below code in your theme.liquid file above </head> tag.

Hi @saim007 ,

 

I updated my theme and this is the code that the Title was updated to. Google has indexed the site on the 9-Jun, but the search page title is still the URL.

 

Can you help advise what I should do to fix it?

 

Thanks!

 

<title>
{{ page_title }}
{% unless page_title contains shop.name %} &ndash; {{ shop.name }}{% endunless %}
</title>

Hi @daniellim Please paste below code in theme.liquid file in <head> tag

<meta name="robots" content="noodp, noydir" />

It will fetch only your title and meta description.

 

Thanks

2 steps:

1. Update your shop name - Shopify

2. Reindex your shop - Google Console

 

Step 1:

Under Sales channels > find Online Store > click Preferences > find Title and meta description > update your new webpage name to Homepage title.

Step 2:

Create a Google Console account (https://search.google.com/search-console/) > find URL Inspection > in the URL is on Google section, click Request Indexing

 

This is probably the fastest way. I've tried this myself and it worked, my site name was updated in 5 minutes!
