My article, two days ago uploaded on Researchgate, public viewing, is not showing up when colleagues search for it, under its title "Cornfields at Meductic." How to make that publication accessible when doing a search for that title?
It can take several days (or perhaps even weeks) until Google's bot will find a new page in the Internet. It is physically not possible to scan the complete Internet each day, and Google visits different sites with different priorities depending on a "crawl budget". For more detailed information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlebot.
Title tags are hints that Google may choose to show or modify in the SERPs. If your title tag doesn’t meet Google’s quality standards, it may be altered or not prominently displayed. Similarly, Google may disregard title tags containing low-quality, misleading, or irrelevant content, to ensure the relevance and quality of the Search Results.
As the search engine evolves, nothing that we do as website owners is explicit with Google any longer. Unlike simpler algorithms in the past that treated much of your content as a directive, today’s algorithms consider your content as mere hints. It’s entirely up to the algorithm to decide whether to take your suggestions into account.
In cases where Google chooses to rewrite your title tag, it often pulls content from your page. This is why we recommend incorporating headings with variations of your main keyword throughout your page, including long-tail keywords, synonyms, and LSI keywords. Doing so ensures that Google displays the most relevant and concise content you have written, rather than selecting more random text from the page.
