tony006 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Abracadaver Many thanks for your quick reply, I have looked at each page and they all have the correct title <title>Nationwide Courier Service Ltd.</title>I am not much good with PHP this is why I am asking for assistance, I have looked at every page code within the file manager looking for anything with HOME, can't find it anywhere. however If I right click on the title in google search it comes up with this - still don't know where I can change it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=nationwidecourierserviceltd&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDQQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationwidecourierserviceltd.co.uk%2F&ei=1vjjUYT-M-Oc0QWhs4HYDA&usg=AFQjCNFLWR8g0GEjrXrGri_vPRUGiJUATQ" onmousedown="return rwt(this,'','','','2','AFQjCNFLWR8g0GEjrXrGri_vPRUGiJUATQ','','0CDQQFjAB','','',event)">HOME</a> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbraCadaver Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Many problems. These pages may be generated by PHP, but all of the problems are the HTML that is being generated: 1. The pages state they are XHTML 1.0 Transitional, however they don't validate and are probably closer to HTML 4.0 with some exceptions. 2. I don't see the <title> tag in the main page. I see a meta name="title" which is not the same. I'm not as familiar with XHTML but in HTML the title tag as I showed in the last post is required. 3. One of the other main problems is that there are 2 starting <head> tags. See all the errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.nationwidecourierserviceltd.co.uk&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 The HOME may be coming from a previous Google crawl as the site was being developed where the title was HOME, or it may be making a best guess in the absence of a title tag. You should contact whoever built this, or another reputable pro to fix it, but I would also sign-up for Google Webmaster Tools to help identify issues and also to request that the site be crawled again after issues are fixed.
