    Hi, am facing a problem with the post title and site name

    the site name appears next to my post title on the search engine.

    am sure that the settings are correct and there is no site name tag added to the post.

    the result is something like this: post title – sitename

    the strange part is that this happens only when we search using a mobile device (Mobile SERP) because when we search using the desktop, there is no site name next to the post title.

    I used this >> cache:https://domain.com/post-title to see if Google crawled my pages recently and I can confirm that everything is up to date.

    for a clear vision, check the screenshots, please.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us about the issue you are facing with the post title and site name appearing next to each other in the search engine results.

    From your description, it seems like Google is displaying your site name next to the post title on mobile SERPs but not on desktop. This behavior can be influenced by various factors, including Google’s algorithms and how they interpret your site’s structured data.

    To address this issue, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Your Structured Data: Ensure that your site’s structured data includes the correct site name. Google gives priority to the site name in your WebSite structured data. You can refer to this guide on how to add a site name to your website structured data: Add a Site Name to Your Website Structured Data.

    2. Optimize Your Homepage Meta Title: Make sure that your homepage meta title includes the site name. Google uses the meta title of your homepage to determine the site name in search results. You can refer to this guide on adding a site name to your homepage meta title: Add a Site Name to Your Homepage Meta Title.

    3. Review Open Graph Metadata: Check if your Open Graph metadata includes the correct site name. While Open Graph metadata is primarily for social media apps, search engines like Google also use it to understand your content better. If you have Rank Math, your Open Graph metadata is automatically added to your homepage. You can refer to this guide for more information: Add a Site Name to Your Open Graph Metadata.

    If after checking these aspects, the issue persists, please provide us with more details or screenshots so we can further assist you in resolving this issue.

    Thank you for your patience, and we are here to help with any additional questions or concerns you may have.

    Hello,

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

    We’ve checked your website and we can see that Rank Math added the correct meta title on your pages.

    You can also check it by using https://rankmath.com/tools/meta-tag-analyzer/ and https://www.heymeta.com/

    However, please note that nowadays, Google does that very commonly. Even when everything is fine, Google may choose to display a different meta title for your search query result. Google may skip the custom metadata you have set and instead display something from the page’s content that better matches the search intent.

    You can follow this URL for details on this issue:

    Thank you.
