Hi @m8bmir

The issue of your website title appearing twice in Google search results is likely due to how the tag is configured or metadata duplication. Here’s how to resolve it:

1-Check Your Tag in Theme Code:

  • Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit Code.
  • Open the theme.liquid file.
  • Look for duplicate tags. Ensure only one tag exists.

2-Update Your SEO Metadata:

  • Go to Online Store > Preferences.
  • Review and update the Title and Meta Description fields. Avoid adding the store name redundantly if it’s already included.

3-Verify Third-Party Apps:

  • Check if any SEO apps are appending additional titles. Disable or adjust settings if needed.

4-Clear Google Cache:

  • Use the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console to request re-indexing for your website.

5-Check with Structured Data Testing:

  • Use Google’s Rich Results Test to verify there are no conflicting title tags or structured data issues.

Implement these steps and re-check the result after Google’s re-indexing.

If you have other questions, feel free to ask me.

Best regards,
Daisy
