How do I change the website title?
Last checked 31 Aug 2026
Short answer
Ask Lovable to change the page title, or edit the <title> tag in index.html directly in the Code editor — this is the text shown in the browser tab and search results.
What the "website title" actually controls
The title is the text in the <title> tag of your HTML. It shows in:
- The browser tab.
- Bookmarks.
- The clickable headline Google shows in search results (unless overridden per-page).
How to change it
Fastest — ask in chat:
Change the site title to "Acme Studio — Custom Furniture" in the browser tab and page metadata.
Manually in Code:
- Open Code and find
index.htmlat the project root (or the relevant route file if you're on a multi-page/TanStack Start project with per-page titles). - Edit the text inside
<title>...</title>. - If your project sets titles dynamically per route (common for multi-page apps), you may need to update a shared layout or a per-page title component instead of a single static tag — ask Lovable to find where titles are set if you're not sure.
- Publish and check the browser tab and a fresh search-engine preview.
Title vs meta title
"Website title" and "meta title" refer to the same <title> tag in most contexts — see how do I change meta titles if you need different titles per page rather than one site-wide title.
What usually goes wrong
- Changing the title in one place but the site has multiple routes each setting their own title, so only the homepage updates.
- Titles over ~60 characters get truncated in Google's results — keep it concise and put the most important words first.
- Forgetting to publish, so the old title still shows live even though the editor looks correct.
