Why Is Google Ignoring or Rewriting My Page Title?

Google rewrites over 60% of page titles that suffer from one of five defects: pixel width exceeding 600px, severe mismatch between the <title> and the visible <h1> heading, generic placeholder text ('Home' or 'Untitled'), repetitive keyword stuffing, or missing brand/topic alignment.

Why This Matters for Search & AI Visibility

When Google rewrites your title, it often pulls fragmented anchor text or subheadings that lower click-through rate (CTR) and misrepresent your positioning.

How to Fix It Permanently

Align your <title> closely with your single visible <h1> heading, keep total length between 35 and 58 characters, and place your brand name concisely at the end after a separator.
