How can I avoid duplicate brand name in the title serp?
-
Hello,
How can I avoid duplicate brand name in the title serp?
For example:
In this page: https://www.latam.com/es_cl/The title setted is: <title>LATAM Airlines en Chile | Sitio Oficial</title>
But in the SERP show: LATAM Airlines en Chile | Sitio Oficial - LATAM.comCan I avoid LATAM.COM at the end of the title?
Regards

Hi there, as effectdigital says above, Google has a tendency to append brand to the end of a title tag where it thinks it's confident of it. I think the question here is - how much do you mind it being added to the end? I think unless it's causing active harm (which I think it probably isn't) probably most effective to just leave it and focus on other things.
Wish we had the answer you were looking for!

I also looked! Not only did I look at the source code, I also rendered the whole page (after all script executions) and checked the modified source code. And STILL there was nothing referencing " - LATAM.com"
All I could find was that "LATAM.com" was mentioned 2-3 times in the body text, but not in areas which I'd assume Google would count as synonymous with title-content (e.g: H1)
This could actually be a genuine Google bug

Hi there,
I've looked at the site & can't see where the LATAM.COM string comes from, you have 3 title tags...
<title>LATAM Airlines en Chile | Sitio Oficial</title>
... none of them element contains LATAM.COM, it's not in the business schema either. I can't ascertain what CMS is used or what (if any) SEO extensions are used. If you can fil in the blanks here I can help you further.

Duplicate Titles and Sitemap rel=alternate
Hello, Does anyone know why I still have duplicate titles after crawling with moz (also google webmasters shows the same) even after I implemented (since 1 week or 2) a new sitemap with rel=alternate attribute for languges? In fact, the duplicates should be in the titles like http://socialengagement.it/su-di-me and http://socialengagement.it/en/su-di-me. The sitemap is on socialengagement.it/sitemap.xml (please note formatting somehow does not show correctly, you should see the source code to double check if its done properly. Was made by hand by me). Thanks for help! Eugenio

We're no longer turning up in Google SERP for our brand search when we used to be #1 after our site update. Any ideas why?
We recently updated our website and during the push, someone mistakenly 301 redirected "www.brandx.com" to "brandx.com" instead of the otherway. Since then, our website no longer turns up for the search "brandx" on Google. We have reversed the mistake a few days ago, but we're still not turning up, and we used to rank #1 in Google SERP. Could it just be due to timing between the crawls and that our www. site didn't make it in Google's index due to this mistake? We have submitted our new sitemap to google a couple of days ago as well, as a side we're still showing up #1 in Bing's results however. And it should still show up based on SEOMoz's SERP report. Any help would help as I'm growing increasingly concerned.

Strategy for retiring brand
Hi guys, I have a client who bought over a fairly well known competitor. They now want to amalgamate the brands and redirect visitors from the competitor's site to their site. There is a healthy volume of organic search queries for the competitor's name. I was thinking about the following strategy: Email all subscribers to let them know about the change Use a meta refresh redirect on the competitor's site to explain about the move After a set period, remove this meta refresh and replace with a 301 redirect Use a canonical tag on the competitor site assigning value to the main brand Set up a landing page on the main site that's optimised for the competitor's brand name and explains about the move. Do you think that this is a good strategy for managing the transition? Thanks!

Avoiding Duplicate Content in E-Commerce Product Search/Sorting Results
How do you handle sorting on ecommerce sites? Does it look something like this? For Example: example.com/inventory.php example.com/inventory.php?category=used example.com/inventory.php?category=used&price=high example.com/inventory.php?category=used&location=seattle If not, how would you handle this? If so, would you just include a no-index tag on all sorted pages to avoid duplicate content issues? Also, how does pagination play into this? Would it be something like this? For Example: example.com/inventory.php?category=used&price=high__ example.com/inventory.php?category=used&price=high&page=2 example.com/inventory.php?category=used&price=high&page=3 If not, how would you handle this? If so, would you still include a no-index tag? Would you include a rel=next/prev tag on these pages in addition to or instead of the no-index tag? I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you need me to clarify any of this. Thanks in advance for your help!

Recently revamped site structure - now not even ranking for brand name, but lots of content - what happened? (Yup, the site has been crawled a few times since) Any ideas? Did I make a classic mistake? Any advise appreciated :)
I've completely disappeared off Google - what happened? Even my brand name keyword does not bring up my website - I feel lost, confused and baffled on what my next steps should be. ANY advice would be welcome, since there's no going back to the way the site was set up.

Duplicate Content
We have a main sales page and then we have a country specific sales page for about 250 countries. The country specific pages are identical to the main sales page, with the small addition of a country flag and the country name in the h1. I have added a rel canonical tag to all country pages to send the link juice and authority to the main page, because they would be all competing for rankings. I was wondering if having the 250+ indexed pages of duplicate content will effect the ranking of the main page even though they have rel canonical tag. We get some traffic to country pages, but not as much as the main page, but im worried that if we remove those pages and redirect all to main page that we will loose 250 plus indexed pages where we can get traffic through for odd country specific terms. eg searching for uk mobile phone brings up the country specific page instead of main sales page even though the uk sales pages is not optimized for uk terms other than having a flag and the country name in the h1. Any advice?
