Google No Longer Respecting Javascript Titles & Metas
-
We implemented title tags and meta descriptions for one of our clients using a GTM and some JS / jQuery.
It's been working well for months. Rankings started dropping and nothing had been changed. We tore our hair out.
I finally noticed that Google doesn't show our titles/descripts in the SERPs anymore. So I double checked in the developer console that everything was working ok, and you can even see our title in the browser tab.
Anyone else see this or have any ideas?
Thanks!

Has the robots.txt stayed the same? Any js blocked there?

Hi Benjamin,
I haven't noticed it for some integrations (not titles, but still SEO elements like META tags), although I wouldn't recommend using Google Tag Manager for any of this anyway.
Martijn.

Meta description and Meta Keywords
Hi, We are new to SEO and have some meta Q's Should Meta descriptions and meta keywords be different on every page? Is it bad to have the same meta data repeated on the site? If it has to be different does it have to be totally different per page of just slightly different? Should the description contain keywords is there an advantage to that? Thanks Andrew
