    Rank Math free

    Hello! I am using Rank Math SEO. But recently, the display of article titles I set up in Rank Math SEO is not displayed correctly like before. It seems to only show the original title I wrote in the post. Additional parts like %sitename% after the title are not displayed on Google search

  • Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with the display of your article titles in Google search results. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check What You Have Set Using Rank Math: Ensure that you have correctly set the SEO Meta Title in Rank Math. You can do this by editing your post in the Classic Editor or Gutenberg:

      • Classic Editor:
        Editing Meta Title and Description using Classic Editor
      • Gutenberg:
        Editing Meta Title and Description in Gutenberg
    2. Ensure Your Schema Settings Are Valid: Check the Schema settings for your post or page in Rank Math. The Headline in the Schema Builder should show %seo_title% and the Description should show %seo_description%. This ensures that your SEO title and description are used for structured data.

    3. Check the Title/Description Set in the Page’s Source Code: You can verify if your title and description are set up correctly in the page source. Right-click on your page and select View page source to check.
      Check the Title and Meta description set in the page's source code

    4. Google’s Discretion: Keep in mind that Google may choose to display a different title based on various factors, including content relevance. If Google finds alternative text more relevant, it might not use the title you provided. You can learn more about this from Google’s documentation.

    Please check the KB and you will understand the reasons Google does this.

    Google has made some changes to their algorithm which automatically changes the titles, discarding the one you have set in your SEO title meta tag. This happens regardless of the SEO plugin you are using. We have covered this Google update here:
