My website: https://www.hourlyindia.com. Meta title and description not works properly. I did not Add “Hourly India” anywhere in my site, but the “Hourly India” showing in search result main page and also showing in post title.
Eg: “Malayalam Cricket News: ą“ąµą“°ą“æą“ąµą“ą“±ąµą“±ąµ ą“µą“¾ą“°ąµāą“¤ąµą“¤ą“ą“³ąµā | Live…” <<< It should be show like this, but it’s shows as “Malayalam Cricket News … – Hourly India.” Not only in this page but “- Hourly India” show in post, pages, categories and tag as well. I do not know where the “Hourly India” come from.Rankmath Single post Title: “%title%” but “- Hourly India” added voluntarily
Single Post Description: “%excerpt%”

Hello,
ā
Thank you for getting in touch with us.I will share with you the guide we usually recommend checking on these situations but if after reading the guide you still have questions, just let us know.
ā
ā1. First of all, I am assuming that you have already changed the SEO Meta Title and Meta Description with the help of Rank Math:
Add a Meta Description in Classic Editor:Add title and description in Gutenberg:
ā
ā2. Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if Rich Snippets are enabled on your website:
ā
ā
āTo reiterate, the Schema title must show %seo_title% and the description should show %seo_description% – this will ensure your SEO title and SEO Description that you set up via Rank Math can also be used for your schema details:
ā
ā3. The next step is to check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:

4. If it matches your settings, then you must check if Google has seen the changes already or not.
ā
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,
ā
āDo 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.
