: Google is appending branded url to title in search results with undesired capitalization I work for an organization with a website domain that is two words that are placed together. For branding

I work for an organization with a website domain that is two words that are placed together. For branding reasons, we always display the url as Loremipsum.com or loremipsum.com and NEVER LoremIpsum.com (referred to as camel-case). Recently, it appears that in Google search result pages the domain name with the unwanted capital letter is getting appended to the page title like:


This is My Awesome Page Title - LoremIpsum.com


when we would prefer it to be:


This is My Awesome Page Title - loremipsum.com


I have scoured the source code of the site and nowhere do I see the domain displayed this way. It certainly isn't in any <title> or <h1> tags. It is as if Google determined that this how the domain name should be displayed.

I've looked in Webmaster Tools and Analytics to see if the site was ever claimed using camel case but can't find anything.

I guess the site uses Loremipsum.com as the name of site. But Google knows that Lorem and Ipsum are two separate words and then to clarify things for searchers it transforms the sitename to camel-case.

The reason why Google attempts to fix your title is that Google doesn't think your titles are good enough. Maybe they aren't unique or they doesn't seem to match the page content.

I have a site which uses the index page title (Company name | Keyword, keyword and keyword in City) on all pages. Let me show some examples of what Google choosed for building the search results titles:


[filename] - [title]
[filename] - [company name] (Note: company name is included in the title)
[title]
[h1] - [title]
[link text from another page (Read more...)] - [title]
[important single word used in both filename and h1] - [title]
[h2] - [title] (Note: The page had a h1 and several h2)


If you want your self-written title to appear in search results: rewrite it until it does.
