Website question - how do you change the title

by Moneyland
6 replies
One of my sites is a HTML website which a company put together for me and I have just noticed that the title and description that appears in the google listing doesn't have the KW in them to match the one in the domain name.

How would I go about changing this, I know on WP but I presume I would need to ask the web developer to change it :confused:

Thanks if you can help

    Yeah, if you don't have access to the hosting acct cpanel where your web files are stored, you'll need to ask the web developer.

    in the head of the html look for <title> tags and you can change them there. you have to have access to the files though. either ftp, cpanel, or otherwise.

      Thanks alot guys - I have the hosting login details so I guess could access but wouldn't have a clue what to do. Do you know if the hosting company could offer any help :confused: Failing I will contact web company but it was a while ago I used them.

      Thanks

    It's actually very very to do, even on a HTML site.

    The answer is above. But don't ask the web developer, learn to do it yourself.

    I was a a HTML newbie just over a year ago. I'm still no expert, but can easily find my way around and make changes to my sites wherever needed.

    Access cpanel from here: http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel

    Use your logins from here.

    One you login to the hosting acct, you'll be at the main "Home" area of the control panel. Find and click on the "File Manager" icon. It will open up an area that shows you all files and folders. Highlight the "index.html" file. Click on the "Code Editor" button at the top.

    Then find the page title text at the top in between the title tags: <title>Page Title Text</title>.

    Edit the text and then save. Then you can just close out of everything after you've saved it.

    Look for the title tags at the very beginning of your home page website code. You will have to do a "view source" to see what i am talking about. And if you can get access to your webhosting control panel, simply change what is between the title tags of your home page code.
