Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your article titles appearing in Google search results. It’s important to note that while you can set your desired titles using Rank Math, Google ultimately decides how to display them in search results based on various factors.
Here are a few reasons why Google might choose to display your titles in a different format:
- Title Rewrites: Google may rewrite titles based on the search intent or if it finds the provided title less relevant. This can happen if the title is too long, stuffed with keywords, or not descriptive enough.
- Duplicate Titles: If multiple pages on your site have similar or identical titles, Google may alter them to differentiate between the pages.
- Alternative Text: Google may use other text from your page, such as headings or prominent content, to create a title that it believes is more relevant to the search query.
To improve the chances of your titles being displayed as you intend:
- Ensure each page has a unique and descriptive title.
- Avoid keyword stuffing and keep titles concise.
- Use clear and relevant headings within your content.
If you feel that your titles are still not being displayed correctly after making these adjustments, you can let Google know through their Search Help Community.
For more detailed information on why Google might not be using your specified titles, you can refer to our article here.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
