Why Google Is Changing our Title Tags?
-
Hi fellow Moz SEOs,
Need your URGENT help! We set an optimised title for our client websites. These titles are approved by our clients. When they checked on Google, noticed the title was not the same. They notified me about this issue. The title looks fine when I checked the source code. Why Google set our title differently?
For example:
Title approved by client: Heart Specialist Clinic Singapore | Cardiology Clinic | Dr. Lim Ing Haan
**Google set our title: **Dr. Lim Ing Haan: Heart Specialist Clinic Singapore ...Title approved by client: Hernia Surgery Singapore | Arden JR Surgery
**Google set our title: **Arden JR Surgery: Hernia Surgery SingaporeTitle approved by client: Top Specialist Divorce & Family Lawyer - Yeo & Associates LLC
Google set our title: Yeo & Associates LLC: Top Specialist Divorce & Family LawyerTitle approved by client: Child care Centre in Singapore| Top Preschool | Carpe Diem
Google set our title: Carpe Diem: Child care Centre in Singapore| Top PreschoolEvery day, they are requesting me to update Google's title with their approved title. Also, asking me these questions.
Why did this happen?
Why didn't set their recommended title?Is there any way to set our approved titles? Please, help me to find the solution. ASAP
Thanks in advance!

Hi Maxi,
Have you tried heading to Google Search Console > Removals > Clear Cached URL to see if that helps?

Hi Verz,
Thanks for the response. Has this improved, now that some time has passed?

It doesn't look like, to me, you have placed your title tag before your CSS includes. This below is from the page source of your first link, as of today. Please notice how there is a stylesheet include, a very large one, before your title tag. I don't know for sure that this is the problem, but I would try placing your title tag before that stylesheet reference.
<html<br>lang=en-US><meta<br>charset="UTF-8"><meta<br>name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"><link<br>media=all href=https://drliminghaan.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_de91ffe89d4bc56be7552d25cabc178f.css rel=stylesheet><title>Heart Specialist Clinic Singapore | Cardiology Clinic | Dr. Lim Ing Haan</title></link<br></meta<br></meta<br></html<br>

Hi Jack,
Yes, I have checked "Clear Cached URL" option. But it's not changed anything. It's already more than 48hrs still results are same.

Hi Verz,
Did you ask this in another comment, by chance? If not, I answered someone with a similar question this week, encouraging them to try heading to Google Search Console > Removals > Clear Cached URL to see if that helps.

Hello seoelevated,
Thank you for your suggestions. We already followed the same steps still results are same.

I'm not sure why the search engine is morphing the page title. One think I would recommend to try would be to move the title tag up to a position in the page source at the very beginning of the head section. It is currently after the CSS source link, and perhaps specifying it earlier might possibly have an impact. Worth a try, I think. But I'm not certain that is the issue.

Getting accurate Geo Location traffic stats in Google Analytics - HELP
One of our clients services the US and the UK, but having looked at the report over an extended period of time we can still see that the vast majority of traffic is coming from the US. I.e. our last report for March indicated that there were over 3,000 users in the US but only 6 in the UK. We know that Google Analytics works out a user’s location based on where their IP is located and not their physical location, and that this means that the data needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as it won’t always represent what you expect. That being said, we know that the traffic figures for Europe are largely inaccurate and would like to get some more accurate stats to report on. Is there a way to do so at all within Google Analytics?

How can I change the currency Google lists my products with in the SERP?
I.e. This product - http://www.absoluteautomation.ca/fgd400-sensaphone400-p/fgd400.htm - shows up as USD in the SERP. (In the US it just won't show a currency, if Canada it will show USD on the SERP). My pricing is all in CAD, how can I tell Google this? (It knows pricing is CAD in my Google Product Listings/Merchant Center). Thanks!

What countries does Google crawl from? Is it only US or do they crawl from Europe and Asia, etc.?
Where does Google crawl the web from? Is it in the US only, or do they do it from a European base too? The reason for asking is for GeoIP redirection. For example, if a website is using GeoIP redirection to redirect all US traffic to a .com site and all EU traffic to a .co.uk site, will Google ever see the .co.uk site?

Google Webmaster Tools - International SEO Geo-Targeting site with Worldwide rankings
I have a client who already has rankings in the US & internationally. The site is broken down like this: url.com (main site with USA & International Rankings) url.com/de url.com/de-english url.com/ng url.com/au url.com/ch url.com/ch-french url.com/etc Each folder has it's own sitmap & relative content for it's respective country. I am reading in google webmaster tools > site config > settings, the option under 'Learn More': "If you don't want your site associated with any location, select Unlisted." If I want to keep my client's international rankings the way it currently is on url.com, do NOT geo target to United States? So I select unlisted, right? Would I use geo targeting on the url.com/de, url.com/de-english, url.com/ng, url.com/au and so on?
