Thanks!

Hi @accessoryarea ,

You can follow the below steps to remove the shop name from your meta titles. It requires code editing so you may duplicate your theme before changing it to be on the safe side.

  1. From your Shopify Admin, navigate to online store > themes > actions > edit code
  2. In your theme.liquid file, find the____ tag (press CTRL + F or command + F on Mac to search)
  3. Replace the entire line of the tag with the following code:
<title>{% if template contains "index" %}{{ page_title }}{% else %}{{ page_title }}{% if current_tags %} {{ 'general.meta.tagged_html' | t: tags: meta_tags }}{% endif %}{% if current_page != 1 %} {{ 'general.meta.page' | t: page_number: current_page }}{% endif %}{% endif %}</title>
  1. Hit save

I hope it helps.

Hello Avada,

Thanks for your reply. I’ve changed the code as you mentioned to the code above, waited around 24h but it still shows my shop name after the title as shown in picture I’ve attached. I’m on the debut theme if it helps.

All the best,

Ray

Hi @accessoryarea ,

Google indexes your site automatically within 48 to 72 hours after you add or update information. You can’t force Google to re-index your site, but you can prompt them to do so by using Google Search Console. You can ask Google to recrawl your URLs by following this guide.

You can check the updated meta title at https://metatags.io/. Please make sure the code is added correctly and you don’t use any SEO app that could change your meta title.
