Google New Title Tag Generation Policy-Must Know!

Google recently announced a new Title tag generation policy, which means Google now can use another text as your Title rather than your Title tag.

Ex: Google can change your Title tag from "Cotton Clothes For Babies" to "Baby Dress" if they think it's better for you.

Google announced in August that its SERPs will display different text in your "Webpage Title" rather than your crafted Title tag, H1 or other text such as bold, italic from your content may be displayed on the search result page by Google as your Title, The change is live now, So Google will not use your crafted Title tag right now this totally depends on Google. There is currently no method you can use to prevent Google from using this technology.

If you are an SEO, Don't just be panicked because it has everything to do with your site structure and content planning, And content type - if you can manage it, Then you just don't need to worry because it could increase your traffic.

Google strives to make search results better, so don't take it negatively. SEO is all about user experience and benefiting visitors.

There is a possibility that Google will use one:

• H1 tag.
• Other heading tags (H2-H6).
• Text that has been decorated (bold, Italic, underlined).
• The anchor text for links.
