Anyone know how to change the what the tab says? Its the same as when you come up in a search, title. Mine just says "Hess Family Painting-Home".

That's your title tag. What are you using to edit your site?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html><head><title>Hess Family Painting - Home </title> <meta name="description" content="Hess Family Painting - Escondido, CA. Third Generation of Painting Expertise">

MikeCalifornia,

what's your reason for looking to change it?

On the actual website :

it does not show in my tab ( too long ) it gets cutoff halfway through your company name, unless I hover over it. I use firefox.

On searches:

I see nothing wrong it. Just because it states it's the home page, I don't think a prospective customer would purposely not click it.

What you do need is your meta description, google is not picking up any other content to display. I see you have the ability to add your meta keywords tag, I assume you can do your meta descritpion as well. Look into that.

On SEO:

Agree with Pat, add a location to your title.
