      Hi fellow Moz SEOs,

      Need your URGENT help! We set an optimised title for our client websites. These titles are approved by our clients. When they checked on Google, noticed the title was not the same. They notified me about this issue. The title looks fine when I checked the source code. Why Google set our title differently?

      For example:

      Title approved by client: Heart Specialist Clinic Singapore | Cardiology Clinic | Dr. Lim Ing Haan
      **Google set our title: **Dr. Lim Ing Haan: Heart Specialist Clinic Singapore ...

      Title approved by client: Hernia Surgery Singapore | Arden JR Surgery
      **Google set our title: **Arden JR Surgery: Hernia Surgery Singapore

      Title approved by client: Top Specialist Divorce & Family Lawyer - Yeo & Associates LLC
      Google set our title: Yeo & Associates LLC: Top Specialist Divorce & Family Lawyer

      Title approved by client: Child care Centre in Singapore| Top Preschool | Carpe Diem
      Google set our title: Carpe Diem: Child care Centre in Singapore| Top Preschool

      Every day, they are requesting me to update Google's title with their approved title. Also, asking me these questions.
      Why did this happen?
      Why didn't set their recommended title?

      Is there any way to set our approved titles? Please, help me to find the solution. ASAP

      Thanks in advance!

        I'm not sure why the search engine is morphing the page title. One think I would recommend to try would be to move the title tag up to a position in the page source at the very beginning of the head section. It is currently after the CSS source link, and perhaps specifying it earlier might possibly have an impact. Worth a try, I think. But I'm not certain that is the issue.

            Hi Verz,

            Did you ask this in another comment, by chance? If not, I answered someone with a similar question this week, encouraging them to try heading to Google Search Console > Removals > Clear Cached URL to see if that helps.

            Best,

              Hi Jack,

              Yes, I have checked "Clear Cached URL" option. But it's not changed anything. It's already more than 48hrs still results are same.

              Regards,
              Verz

                We have the same issue for our one of our client. Recently, we did changes in their on-page SEO to rank one of the keywords "accounting services singapore." We set an optimised title & meta description. The title was approved by our clients. 2 days ago they checked their website status on Google SERP and noticed the home page title & meta description were not the same.

                Title approved by client: Accounting & Audit Services Provider Firm in Singapore | Helmi Talib
                Google set our title: Helmi Talib: Accounting & Audit Services Provider Firm in Singapore

                I already asked this question here.

                  It doesn't look like, to me, you have placed your title tag before your CSS includes. This below is from the page source of your first link, as of today. Please notice how there is a stylesheet include, a very large one, before your title tag. I don't know for sure that this is the problem, but I would try placing your title tag before that stylesheet reference.

                  <html<br>lang=en-US><meta<br>charset="UTF-8"><meta<br>name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"><link<br>media=all href=https://drliminghaan.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_de91ffe89d4bc56be7552d25cabc178f.css rel=stylesheet><title>Heart Specialist Clinic Singapore | Cardiology Clinic | Dr. Lim Ing Haan</title></link<br></meta<br></meta<br></html<br>
