    I currently run the media review website scrollcentral.com. I use the name “ScrollCentral” for the brand, and want that to appear as the site title on Google search results. However, it instead appears as “scrollcentral.com”. I have tried changing the site name under the “site identity” options and also Rankmath’s Local SEO tab (under Titles & Meta), but this has not worked. I’ve also reindexed the site within Google Search Console. The only reason that I can see for it not changing is that scrollcentral.com appears to be the name of the “property” under General Settings -> Analytics. However, I can’t seem to change that setting or that name. What should I do?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please note that it is common for Google to do this nowadays. Even when everything is fine, Google may choose to display a different meta title and description for a search result.

    Google sometimes adjusts the title and description according to the search intent. Google may choose to display a different meta title for search query results. Google may sometimes ignore the custom metadata you have set and instead display something from the page’s content that better matches the search intent.
