feefee1 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Meta titles on all subpages in the Portfolio section of my website are returning : Residential Architect Edinburgh | Alexander Philip architect despite the meta title for https://www.alexanderphilip.com/portfolio/kinauld-farm-currie actually reading: Kinauld Farm New Build Family House | Alexander Philip architect? All the Portfolio sub pages are returning the Portfolio SEO meta title wrongly but the correct meta descriptions. How can I display the text that I have input into Squarespace for each of those pages? This is having and has had a detrimental effect on my website since I set it up. Thanks [NB This has NOTHING to do with Google!] Edited March 20 by feefee1 Link to comment
Ziggy Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Do you have the SEO title set up for each portfolio sub-page? Assuming you have, when did you do that?

feefee1 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 I thought I had done it when I originally built the website (2022) but I noticed that it wasn't working properly last year (September ish 2023) and made a change which I thought had worked, but it looks as if it is still not working ....any suggestions on how to fix ? Yes, all index pages were input for the subpages at the outset and perhaps tweaked last September....thanks Link to comment
Ziggy Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 That's interesting because it's doesn't seem to be reflected in the HTML code: view-source:https://www.alexanderphilip.com/portfolio/kinauld-farm-currie What title do you have for this project page in the SEO title?

feefee1 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 If you view source - you will see that the titles of the portfolio sub pages are all the same which they shouldn't be! Link to comment
feefee1 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Title for the page you requested is as follows: SEO TITLE (OPTIONAL) Kinauld Farm New Build Family House Description: A new build family house designed by Alexander Philip architect. An attractive riverside setting located on the outskirts of Edinburgh. View photos of the finished project. But showing Residential Architect Edinburgh | Alexander Philip architect ????

Collaborada Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Hi @feefee1 you need to visit the "Items" tab on the SEO panel and set it to %i | %s (or similar): https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206016198-Adding-SEO-descriptions#toc-add-an-seo-site-description Have SEO questions?

feefee1 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 (edited) Thanks @Collaborada Squarespace gives the option to add specific meta titles to each page which is what I have done - but it is not then rendering this content in the HTML pages. If I use %I - then, I think it would theoretical duplicate the Portfolio page meta title (landing page) as it is doing at the moment. Is there somewhere that defines the %I / %s options? Thanks PS I don't have a problem with the meta descriptions - they are rendering correctly I.e. a different description for each page. Edited March 20 by feefee1 Link to comment
Solution Collaborada Posted March 20 Solution Share Posted March 20 Hi @feefee1 please try it and let us know how it goes. Make sure to use lower case "i" vs upper case. %i represents the title of an item. Have SEO questions? Chances are we've written about it! Try a quick Google search to find our advice.

feefee1 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 @Collaborada - I have implemented "% lowercase I" on the meta title for the Portfolio > Kinauld Farm page and it calls up " I Alexander Philip Architect" on the SEO panel when in the Kinauld Farm page and the html doesn't change. That's not what I want .... Anyway, the software won't know what the title is if I don't specifically tell it in the box that it gives me the option to do so....? I think it is an error at the software engineer side - they are not calling in the right line to render in the html code.... How can that be fixed? Link to comment
feefee1 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 @Collaborada - I get where you are coming from now ... Settings > Marketing > SEO Appearance > Half way down page SEO Appearance: HOME PAGE ITEMS - changed from %p to %I and it worked.... Many thanks Collaborada 1 Link to comment
