Hello, ive set my blog pages like this: sitename.com | Blogs, and its working fine except my home/front page is showing like this in google results sitename.com: Homepage. I would like it to be sitename.com | Homepage or Homepage | sitename.com. Rank math’s SEO Analysis shows it will appear Homepage | sitename.com in google results but its not showing like that and its looking very weird and bothering me alot that every other page is showing correctly but not homepage.

Hello. I thought i got it resolved but looks like i didnt. So i want my front page to show up in google results like this: It-website | sitename.com but its showing sitename.com: homepage. So the separator is not updating and either the title is not changing to my tagline. Rank math shows it will look the way i want. Meta snippet is updating to google but not the title… Should i be more patient and just wait or can i do anything to change it?
Hello,
First of all, you need to go to Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta > Separator Character > Make sure you have selected | there as separator.
If yes, then navigate to the Home Page tab from there and under Homepage Title section, make sure you have not added the separator manually instead of adding
%sep%.If all the above are already done, but still facing issues, then we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Hello,
It is likely just an update by Google.
If this happens again, you should check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:
https://i.rankmath.com/HwXR1oYou can use this tool for the same as well: https://www.heymeta.com/
If it matches your settings, then you must check if Google has seen the changes already or not.
For that, please check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
a.
b.
If the cache date is from before adding the new meta description, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. If the date is after you made the changes,
Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/description for your search keyword, there is nothing you can do as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.
