New page titles not updating in Google results even though recrawlled

[OddDog]

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.

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

Check the google result for that page versus the actual page title - quite strange.

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...
