    A while ago I updated the title and description for my website using Yoast SEO.

    The description has subsequently updated fine but the old title is still showing on Google results and on browser tabs.

    I have checked the page source code and it is still showing the old title there.

    The old title was: Superior Lifts | The Lift Cleaning Specialists | London

    The new title should be: Superior Lifts | Maintenance, Repairs, Modernisations & Installations

    Can you please help at all?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @mallo82

    Upon viewing the page source of your homepage, we do see the <title> tag in the page source is showing as:

    <title>Superior Lifts | The Lift Cleaning Specialists | London</title>

    Just to clarify, you’ve already edited the homepage and changed the SEO title field in the Yoast SEO meta box to something else and updated the changes, but it hasn’t reflected as such in the actual page source, right?

    Can you please try resetting our indexables in the database tables by following the steps below?
    1. Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper plugin
    2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
    3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation’, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful. Note: Resetting the optimization doesn’t undo any of the hard work you’ve put into the plugin as the SEO data is also stored in WordPress’ default tables. It’ll just reset the custom Yoast tables that contain the combined data pulled from those default tables.
    4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your?content.

    For your site’s health and safety, we recommend creating regular backups of your site and database. This is especially important before installing, updating, or removing plugins. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.

    After resetting and completing the SEO data optimization, could you check if the <title> tag for your homepage updates accordingly?
