Duplicate name of domain in SERP under Title

Duplicate name of domain in SERP under Title

Hello When i Search my site on google , It always gives this result showing duplicate name on the top. I think it should just be one. Please let me know how to remove it from backend.

Re: Duplicate name of domain in SERP under Title

So google doesn't like your title tag because it's spammy (Online Shopping - Shop Online) so they revert to the next best thing, your H1 tag:

 

 <h1 class="logo"><strong>familycart.com</strong><a href="http://www.familycart.com/" title="familycart.com" class="logo"><img src="http://www.familycart.com/skin/frontend/tv_bigboom_package/tv_bigboom2/images/logo.png" alt="familycart.com" width="272" height="52" /></a></h1>
                                           

So it's using what's in the strong tag and what's in the alt tag.  Change your title to something like:

 

"FamilyCart.com - Shop Electronics, Computers, Books and more"

 

Then remove the code that wraps your logo in h1 tags and add an h1 to your page.

Re: Duplicate name of domain in SERP under Title

Go to "CMS > Pages" and select the page with url key "home". On the first tab "page information" for home, you will see "Page Title".

 

For most themes your probably not going to have a decent way to put a page title anywhere on the homepage, and for the most part having it on your logo isn't horrible. I would just change in your /app/code/design/frontend/yourtheme/default/page/html/header.phtml to

 

 <?php if ($this->getIsHomePage()):?>
        <h1 class="logo"><strong>FamilyCart</strong><a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('') ?>" title="Your Online Superstore" class="logo"><img src="<?php echo $this->getLogoSrc() ?>" alt="logo" /></a></h1>
        <?php else:?>
        <a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('') ?>" title="Your Online Superstore" class="logo"><strong>FamilyCart</strong><img src="<?php echo $this->getLogoSrc() ?>" alt="lol" /></a>
        <?php endif?>
