The search result for Google incorrectly appears as "Enter your text here" for my website. The title is correct in the HTML code: "Home".



Why is this happening and what can I do to correct it?

The problem is that "Home" is not a great title. Your page title should be something like:

"Home" is a generic title used by lots of sites. Google is ignoring it because it doesn't describe your site at all.

The text that Google is choosing is from a heading tag in the page source: <h2 class="Title ospfxwcb50dd00a19f19ba935c9a031c21957dossfx">Enter your text here</h2> Google isn't very smart about choosing that text. It doesn't describe your site much better than "Home" does. It also doesn't appear on your rendered page; likely because it is hidden by CSS.

In addition to a better page title for your home page, you should remove that hidden h2 or replace the text with something better.
