How to Control Site Name Appending in Page and Meta Titles

Learn how to enable or disable automatic site name appending to your page titles and SEO meta titles across your entire site.

Written by Kin Pagaduan

Overview

CraftedStays includes a global setting that automatically appends your site name to all page titles and SEO meta titles across your site. This is enabled by default and is designed to reinforce your brand in search results.

However, if you are already including your brand name in your custom meta titles, or if the appended suffix is pushing your titles past Google's recommended character limit, you can turn this off in one place.

Where to Find the Setting

  1. Go to your CraftedStays dashboard

  2. Navigate to Site > SEO Settings
    ​

  3. Find the toggle labeled Append site name to page and meta titles
    ​

  4. Toggle it on or off based on your preference

  5. Save your changes

What This Setting Does

When enabled, your site name is automatically added as a suffix to all generated page titles and SEO meta titles across your site. For example:

Vacation Rental Destinations | Vacation Rentals

When disabled, page and meta titles render exactly as entered, with no suffix added. Your custom SEO meta title overrides will display as written.

When to Disable It

Consider turning this off if:

  • You are already including your brand name in your custom meta titles and do not want it to appear twice

  • Your titles are being truncated in Google search results (Google typically cuts off titles beyond 60 characters)

  • You want full manual control over how your titles appear in search results

Important Notes

  • This is a site-wide setting. It applies to all pages, including property pages, custom pages, and blog posts.

  • It does not override anything you have set in individual page SEO fields. Your custom meta title overrides will still take effect, just without the appended suffix.

  • Changes take effect immediately. No need to republish your site.
