    Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your site name not displaying correctly in Google search results. To ensure that Google displays your site name instead of the homepage URL, you need to follow these steps:

    1. Add a Site Name to Your Homepage Title Tag

    • Go to your WordPress Dashboard → Settings.
    • Enter your site name in the Site Title field. You can also add a description in the Tagline field.

    3. Add a Site Name to Your Homepage Meta Title

    • If you have Rank Math installed, you can set your homepage meta title by going to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and filling in the required fields for your homepage.

    4. Add a Site Name to Your Open Graph Metadata

    • If you have Rank Math, Open Graph metadata is automatically added to your homepage, so you can skip this step.

    5. Add a Site Name to Your Website Structured Data

    • Enable the Schema module in Rank Math by going to Rank Math SEO → Dashboard.
    • Then navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Local SEO, and fill in the required fields, including your website name.

    6. Request Google to Reindex Your Homepage

    • After making these changes, you may want to request Google to reindex your homepage using Google Search Console. Enter your homepage URL and click REQUEST INDEXING.

    Click Request Indexing

    It may take some time for Google to reflect these changes in search results. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further!

    Hello,

    Please note that Google uses a machine learning algorithm to generate the Sitename for your pages based on other information it has collected about your website and your industry.

    Also, it is completely up to Google, and even if your site has followed all the guidelines, they can still decide to show a different or no site name. You should keep working on improving your site’s content quality and authority to increase the chances of your site name appearing in the SERPs.

    Moreover, we would suggest to keep on mentioning the desired title on both the title of the page and the schema structure (which our plugin automatically adds after configuring the Local SEO settings in Rank Math > Titles & Meta).

    Here’s a link for more information:

    Looking forward to helping you.
