I edited my title to include the brand, so it looked like:

Company Name | Outdoor keyword, blah & blah

Saved it, uploaded it to website, refreshed everything fine. Edited the sitemap and uploaded it.

2 weeks on the website title is like this:

KEYWORD

What is going on?? How can this be? I have checked the file and the title is still Company Name | Outdoor keyword, blah & blah were is Google getting this data??

If you know, tell me so I can edit it....

  • So I took this screen shot below of the website in question - please not the title? Why is this, when we changed it??

  • You can never tell what G is going to do. You seem to have done everything right, I would move on to other things.

    • Sometimes Google "may" take parts from your title or snippets from the beginning or segments of a paragraph that best fits the search to place at the search results.

      What I don't understand is your situation. I went to your site just now and saw the full title description as you want it to display. When I work on a page, then upload it to make changes(ftp), edits, etc, the results are seen instantly all the time in every situation I've encountered. I've made changes to a site while the client sat on the computer and phone watching me make changes on the spot. Is this the situation you encountered?

      Or were you referring to what you saw at Google or other search engines? Because if you're waiting for instant changes to show at the search where viewers see, it could be a while before any changes are seen there and they won't necessarily be as you expected.
