How to set page title same as SEO page title?

Start a Business

Topic summary

Issue: The collection page’s visible title (H1) shows the collection title, but the poster wants it to match the SEO page title (the meta title shown in search results).

What’s been tried/clarified:

  • Admin path provided to edit SEO fields: Products > Collections > Search engine listing (screenshot shared).
  • Poster confirms changing the SEO title there does not change the on-page H1; H1 continues to mirror the collection title.

Proposed solution:

  • A contributor suggests editing the theme’s Liquid template (e.g., collection.liquid) so the displayed title pulls the SEO title. They propose using a variable like {{ collection.metafields.global.title_tag }} for the visible title. This requires theme code edits and is unverified in-thread.
  • An SEO app (SEOPro) was promoted as a tool for managing titles/descriptions at scale; affiliation disclosed.

Next steps/status:

  • Support requested screenshots to better understand the discrepancy before advising further.
  • No confirmed code snippet or resolution yet; discussion remains open.

Key terms:

  • SEO page title: Meta title used by search engines.
  • H1 tag: The main on-page heading, typically visible to visitors.

Hi there, @Razzak24 !

You can find and edit this option for your collections by heading to the Products > Collections menu in your admin and clicking in to view the collection you want to edit.

From there, scroll to the very bottom of this page to see the option under ‘search engine listing’ to edit this:

Hi @Don ,

Yeah, you are right but this search engine listing section title is not the actual title reflect on the website, after editing this section when I inspecting the website I found that the title and the SEO title are both are different.

The title of the collection which is also the H1 tag of the collection page are the same, and the same H1 tag value reflect on the collection page as a title.

So I want the SEO title should be the actual title on the collection page! is it possible to do that by edit the backend code? if yes than please help me to do that.

Hi @Razzak24 ,

To align the collection page title with the SEO page title in Shopify, you typically need to modify your theme’s Liquid code. For example, you can edit the collection template (collection.liquid or collection-template.liquid) to use {{ collection.metafields.global.title_tag }} for the page title. This change will make the visible page title match the SEO title you set in your Shopify admin under the “Search engine listing preview”.

While this requires some familiarity with Shopify’s theme code, it’s a straightforward fix. Additionally, SEOPro can further assist in optimizing your SEO titles and descriptions, ensuring consistency across your store’s SEO and visible elements. SEOPro also provides bulk optimization tools to efficiently manage SEO settings across your products and

collections, saving you time and enhancing your store’s search engine ranking.
