Auto Generated Title by Google in SERP
-
Is there a way to tell Goolge to use my title instead of one generated by Google
I have unique meta tags for each page, no duplicates, why Google is doing that? Thanks

This happens far more frequently than you probably assumed. I do however find it amusing that one search will return my page with the correct title and then a similar search will return my page with an altered title. Seems almost silly that a synonym can completely change how my site's information appears in the SERPs... but it happens. On a positive side though, sometimes that may actually help to make you more relevant to a search you didn't think of while not hurting your positions for the terms you're trying to rank for.

Sometimes if your TITLE is over-optimized, then Google will put its own TITLE on it. Change you TITLE and give a week or so for for Google's index to update and see what happens.

No way to change it. They feel that their title is more relevant toward the searcher's query than yours.

Not all images indexed in Google
Hi all, Recently, got an unusual issue with images in Google index. We have more than 1,500 images in our sitemap, but according to Search Console only 273 of those are indexed. If I check Google image search directly, I find more images in index, but still not all of them. For example this post has 28 images and only 17 are indexed in Google image. This is happening to other posts as well. Checked all possible reasons (missing alt, image as background, file size, fetch and render in Search Console), but none of these are relevant in our case. So, everything looks fine, but not all images are in index. Any ideas on this issue? Your feedback is much appreciated, thanks

Duplicate page titles
Hi, I have a Joomla 2.5 site and I use categoryblogs. So I have a page with "reviews". All the reviews are shown on this page and there are about 15 pages of it. In my SEOMoz crawl result I get 71 errors ! about "duplicate titles". How can I diminish this? I don't know how to show all the reviews in a proper way other than what I have accomplished with categoryblog. Patrick

Google changing title tags to branded
Hi guys and gals, i noticed in the results today Google has been changing my title tags so that brand: is in the front of it all. This is not in the code but my title tag structure site-wide is keywords and then always | brand on the end. Why has this happened does anyone know? does it affect my first keyword in the title tag, i guess Google might do it as it recognises the brand and wants users to know it?

Has Google stopped rendering author snippets on SERP pages if the author's G+ page is not actively updated?
Working with a site that has multiple authors and author microformat enabled. The image is rendering for some authors on SERP page and not for others. Difference seems to be having an updated G+ page and not having a constantly updating G+ page. any thoughts?
