We have noted that there are duplicate titles appearing in Google’s search results for some of our pages.
At first we thought this may be an issue with Yoast plugin and we followed various advice about rectifying this and performed the following in functions.phpadd_filter('avf_title_tag', 'avia_change_title_tag', 10, 2); function avia_change_title_tag($title, $wptitle) { return $wptitle; }
This also did not solve the problem. We then changed the title output in header.php to:
<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>
This also has not helped and the problem remains. You cannot visually see or find the extra words it keeps adding to the title. But it shows up on some important pages in Google’s search.September 21, 2015 at 5:23 pm #506546Hi Vincent!
The title is being set correctly.
<title>SEO Services in Kent, London, UK | Sonet Digital</title>
If your using the WordPress SEO plugin then edit the page and in the SEO options you can change the title to whatever you need. You can also change the default title format int he plugin options, Dashboard > SEO > Titles / Meta.

Thanks for your reply. However, that is not the issue and I already know this info.
The issue is that there is a second title name of my company appearing in Gogole’s search result. I have provided in private below: This is happening on several pages – the home page is fine.
Cheers
Vince

I see. It looks like your other pages are fine though. Try using the Google webmaster tools and have Google crawl the page again, perhaps it just hasn’t updated yet.
Cheers!
