Read the discuss below, we share some tips to fix the issue about Google shows "Widget tips" instead of "Widget" as title, but I don’t use this term anywhere.Problem :

I have been working on one of the client's website from couple of months now. I have installed Yoast SEO plugin and titles was forced to put site name i.e "Widget" at the end of each post.

But from last few days I have noticed that Google results have started showing "Widget" with "Widget tips". I have never used "Widget tips" anywhere on the site as description or in the posts section.

I have set the yoast to rewrite the title with site name at the end only. I'm just wondering that how "Widget tips" is there when I have not used it any where on site. I have also tried to check the page source codes but this term has not found anywhere.

Can anyone help me to rectify the actual issue for this?

Solution :

Meta titles and descriptions are not compulsory. If Google (and other search engines) doesn't agree withe the accuracy or relevancy of the provided meta title and description it will add it's own.

Double check that your CMS isn't making this title by typing into Google 'cache:[url-address]' then click on view source.

example: cache:https://www.amazon.co.uk

Here you can see the meta title and description Google has cached, check this is the same as the one you are writing, if so then the meta data you have provided is being ignored granted the pages have been crawled since the meta data was changed.

If the issue about google-search, search-results, title, is resolved, there’s a good chance that your content will get indexed and you’ll start to show up in Google search results. This means a greater chance to drive organic search traffic to your site.
