 Hello,

I noticed the google add "GeekSam.com" word in titles when i search on my website

This is the website: http://www.xxxx.com/ar/

You can see the photos to know my problem.

I searched in the website on this "GeekSam.com" but i can not find it. I added it just in the footer and in small letters.

How i can fix this?

Hi

You cannot. It's entirely up to Google to decide what they use for the title and description on their results. Your page title and meta description entered on your site is merely an indication to them, but they'll change it if they think it's better for the searcher.

But it was normal without adding "GeekSam.com".

Hi

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said. So geeksam.com is not something normal? I can see "geeksam.com" listed in your footer, that's why I thought it was normal:

[xxxx]

Again, the only thing sh404SEF controls is the page title. When I navigate your site, I see the page title is correct, it does not have the GeekSam part.

The only suggestion I would have is to remove the geeksam credit, although it's unusual that they would do that with just a mention in the footer.

Yes, This is what's i talk, I added it as developed by geeksam.com (in small letters) but google add it as "GeekSam.com"
I'm so wondering about this and why google add it.
I searched in DB but nothing found.

Is it useful to re-submit the sitemap again to google web master?

Hi

No, sitemap are not useful really. The fastest way to have a page reconsidered is to use "Fetch as Google" and then "Submit to index", in the Search console.
