How Do You Make Custom Titles/Headers For Google Display?

5 replies
Hi,

this may be a dumb question but I don't know how to do it. Usually I just name my page a certain name show it displays in Google. So for instance the title of one page might be:

" Magic Of Making Up Review! See What Everyone Is Saying!"

But now my actual page url title has this in it. Is there a way to display this title in the search engines and while just keeping my page url of " mysite.com/magicofmakingupreview

Thanks

    Yes, absolutely there is. I do this all the time so my url's won't be so long.

    Are you using a wp blog to do this?

    If so, there are a couple of things you can do.

    If you have pretty permalinks setup to postname, then you can just click on the little edit button on top of your post or page to change the url.

    if you have AllInOne or something similar set up you can make your page title (the one from the title tag) show anything you want.

    If you are going to go back and change a bunch of your posts and pages, you might consider leaving them the way they are and starting out a new naming convention with your new stuff so you don't miss out on any already indexed content.

    There are a variety of seo plugins that wweakthe page structure and insert data you fill into added data fields. AllInOneSEO being the most popular, but not the most modern.

    The main thing is getting meta data into the header of the html, the title shoulds be different for each page, the meta description appears in the Google search results. In the old people loaded up the meta keywords with what they wanted to rank for, these days the meta keywords are only examined by some 2nd tier search engines and your competitors.
