So if we didn't think in advance when creating page titles, then how do we change them appropriately now, after the fact, so that they get indexed properly?
Enter the new URL in the 'URL Inspection' bar in Google Search Console and click Request Indexing. You might need to de-index the old URL as well, but that's at your own discretion.
I really don't think it's possible - try to make the first couple of sentences of the article into your 'meta description' and hope Google picks this up, as meta descriptions are often rewritten automatically anyway.
Great idea, but I don't have any easy fixes myself. Google rewrites meta descriptions 50% of the time anyway, so sometimes you'll escape GoDaddy's weird double SERP titles. Anyone else got a fix for this?
As hinted at around 2:10 changing the content in the headline will change the slug, with the complications I mentioned (GoDaddy will create a redirect to the new URL from the old one). Blog post slugs can't be changed, AFAIK.
I am pretty sure the site maps update with the new titles and your given a whole new canonical url when you do Change titles I have been indecisive to say the lease ha and I have only gotten frustrated a couple times with google and the indexing and it was after a while bunch of renaming my blog categories, page titles and going from 7 categories to 3 back to five. Ya i been all over the place and it automatically within 48 hours has everything in order with google, you have to just let go and let god, because I have been ranked in top three pages of almost every post since day one and never even knew how to see my site map until days ago (started 5 weeks ago)

Thanks for the help, Mark!
Thank you so much. Would have never guessed to click on Get found on Google to change my title.
Glad it worked!
Helped, thanks for this one!
Happy to help!
Do you know how to change the thumbnail picture when sending the link to website on GoDaddy site builder?

@@markhemming ahh ok. It seems godaddy makes seo difficult. Wish I had known that before choosing them
@@DeeCarLady Yes, GoDaddy is not the most customisable - it's still possible to rank a GoDaddy website though.
Can we add meta description to the blog on the website too ? How do we do it?
I really don't think it's possible - try to make the first couple of sentences of the article into your 'meta description' and hope Google picks this up, as meta descriptions are often rewritten automatically anyway.
Is there a way you can make a video explaining how to fix duplicate meta descriptions ?

@@markhemming thank you for your quick response. I will look in to it more.
Any idea how to add Google Tags using godaddys website builder?
Hey Robin! You might be able to do this in the Add HTML section, but I haven't tried it personally, so exercise caution! 🙃
Did you figure out how to do the h1 h2 tags?
Not yet unfortunately. I think there's an 'Add HMTL' option somewhere that **might** let you add /, but I haven't had a chance to fully investigate.
I usually add H1 and H2 tags on Google docs then copy paste my work to go daddy. The formating isn't lost
@@motivarsity that is really useful, thanks! will give it a go!
Very helpful video. Love form Bangladesh.
May I know what is your Screen Recorder Softwer name or link??
Thanks! I use Drift for screen recording - it's free and easy to use.
@@markhemming Thanks

That's the magical world of Godaddy 😂
It would be nice to keep the music volume down.
So Godaddy sucks as we originally thought?
Yeah, the lack of customisation is infuriating at times.
