Issues with display the correct title

Hello,

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

I can’t seem to find any added data in the sensitive section. Please update so we can look into this.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi,

Even on the reference site I see the issue which just goes to show that this has nothing to do with Rank Math.

Although the title is working fine (more on this below), the meta description doesn’t match what those websites are using:
Description in the page source:

Actual description picked up by Google:

Now, about the title – both the reference websites are using their brand name as the first thing. That is why it matches the one in their source code.

You are using it after the tagline (?) and Google is deliberately showing the brand name first. So, your meta description is similar to those websites:
BRAND NAME | Tag Line

If you check your page here, it should show you the same thing as you set in Rank Math:

If it does, there is not much Rank Math can do if Google is not honoring those tags.

That’s completely normal for Google to include your brand name in the title’s automatically – even if you deliberately leave them out from your titles.
​
​Here’s an article mentioning that as well.

​And a link to Google’s forums with replies from Experts saying that it is like that on purpose:

If you wish to know Google’s guidelines on writing Good titles, here are the guidelines straight from the horse’s mouth:

​
​With that said, it largely depends on keyword intent too. For some keyword searches, your custom title might appear while for others – Google might append your brand name to the title and there is nothing you can do to force them to do otherwise. That is regardless of what SEO plugin you use.
​
​Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Well, recently Google did some updates to their algorithm so it could be the cause of the sudden change. Since it was done just some time ago, no one really knows how it is going to affect the website but since everything in your settings and even in the source code is fine, it could be one of the effects.

looking forward to help you.
