New page titles not updating in Google results even though recrawlled
-
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.

Old: Anti-Executable Enterprise - Faronics
New: Application Whilelisting and Application Control | Faronics Anti-Executable
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
-
Also www.faronics.com/enterprise/anti-executable/
Check the google result for that page versus the actual page title - quite strange.

need the old and new page titles...

-
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...

Google Ignoring region settings on contact pages
Hi All, I've got an issue with multi-region contact pages. For example, Google favors the UAE other region contact pages for French region searches, when I only want /fr/contact. I've used a Rel-con and set up the website to be pointing to the correct regions.

What does the Google Crawler see when crawling this page?
If you look at this page http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/t/49/61/185/730/Batteries. You will see we have a vehicle filter on it. Right now you only see a picture of a battery and some bad text that needs to be updated ( We just hired a copywriter!). Our question is when google crawls this site will thy just see this or will they see all the products that appear after you pick a "machine type" "make" "model" and "year" Any help would be great. Right now we think it just sees this main page how we have set things up; however, we know that the crawler is also crawling some ajax. We just want to be sure of things.

Google inconsistent in display of meta content vs page content?
Our e-comm site includes more than 250 brand pages - lrg image, some fluffy text, maybe a video, links to categories for that brand, etc. In many cases, Google publishes our page title and description in their search results. However, in some cases, Google instead publishes our H1 and the aforementioned fluffy page content. We want our page content to read well, be descriptive of the brand and appropriate for the audience. We want our meta titles and descriptions brief and likely to attract CTR from qualified shoppers. I'm finding this difficult to manage when Google pulls from two different areas inconsistently. So my question... Is there a way to ensure Google only utilizes our title/desc for our listings?
