Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your homepage title not appearing correctly in Google search results. It can be frustrating when the meta title you set does not show up as expected.
There are a few reasons why Google might not display your specified meta title:
- Google’s Discretion: Google sometimes chooses to display alternative titles based on what it deems more relevant or useful for users. This can include content from “ elements, headings, or other prominent text on your page.
- Crawling Issues: If there are issues with how Google crawls your site, it may not be able to access the meta title properly.
- Open Graph Metadata: Ensure that your Open Graph metadata is set up correctly, as this can also influence how your site appears in search results.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can:
- Check if your homepage meta title is correctly set in Rank Math by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensuring that the title is entered correctly.
- Use the Google Search Console to check for any crawling issues or errors related to your homepage.
- Review the source code of your homepage to confirm that the meta title is present in the “ section.
If you continue to experience issues, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we’re here to help!
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We checked your homepage on Google and we can see it is showing the correct meta title and description on SERPs:
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.

Good day,
We have relooked, but still shows us that it doesnt have meta name. How come it shows in your language as good and in ours as not? This is frustrating
Hello,
It’s possible that Google is displaying different results based on location or language preferences. We can check using this tool that the meta title is set correctly by Rank Math.
If the tags are correctly configured but still not appearing as expected on your side, it’s likely Google is dynamically altering them to match search intent, which is beyond our control.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
