Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with your site title not reflecting correctly in Google search results. To ensure that Google displays your updated site name, you need to follow these steps:
-
Add a Site Name to Your Homepage Title Tag:
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard -> Settings and enter your site name in the Site Title field.
- Enter a site description into the Tagline field.
- Scroll down and click Save Changes.
-
Check Your Homepage Display Settings:
- Go to WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading.
- Navigate to Your homepage displays and check how your homepage is set to display.
If your homepage is set to display Your latest posts, your site title will be used as your homepage H1 header tag. If it’s set to display a static page, follow these steps:
- Go to WordPress Dashboard -> Pages.
- Edit the page labeled “Front Page” and enter your site name as the page title.
- Click Update.
By following these steps, you can ensure that Google displays your updated site name correctly in the search results. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as you work on optimizing your site for better search visibility.

Hello,
Please share the affected URL so we can check the title.
Meanwhile, please note that Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and shows something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.
You can also verify the title and description by using these tools:

Looking forward to helping you.
Hey,
Not 1 or 2 page on my website affected by this. All the pages that ranks in Google shoes the website name in the search title.
For example- the search is Justin Waller net worth.
But Google is showing Justin Waller net worth – wealthy Bull. So it’s affecting my ranking
Hello,
We can see Rank Math has added the correct meta title for your page. However, please note that nowadays, Google does that very commonly.
Even when everything is fine, Google may choose to display a different meta title for your search query result. Google may skip the custom metadata you have set and instead display something from the page’s content that better matches the search intent.
