Google is taking a new approach to their indexed listing titles

Been checking this out a bunch lately and have noticed that on about 30 of my sites Google has taken a new approach to their indexed listing titles and decided that the page title/h1 tag would be the search result title. Before I could simply add a meta title to the source code and that would end up being the listing title for my site when indexed.

After researching this over the last 2 months, I would say its safe to say that... If Google bot thinks that your H1/page title is more accurate/relevant to your content then they will use it rather than the meta title from your source code for your indexed listing title.

NOTE: Now of course I could be wrong in saying that this is a new approach taken by Google but I can say that I have been doing SEO over the last 6-7 years and have never noticed this on any of my sites or my clients sites for that matter.

It is good to hear the new update from the Google for indexing. I think, this update had come in the first week of January.

Thanks for sharing. I also think google has its own apprach to identify the key content of a website, not only depends on meta
