Search Engine shows wrong website details

    Hi, I use Rank Math for my website. Today I noticed that my site title on Google Search has been replaced by “MobileHub Kenya”. I looked for the anomaly in the WP admin area, but could not find it anywhere. Could you please help me understand why this happened and how to fix this?

    This is what I found in the source page:
    <meta property=”og:site_name” content=”Write Choice” />

    Google Search word: “Signature Analysis”
    Page URL: https://www.writechoice.co.in/writechoice/signature-analysis/

  • Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with your site title on Google Search. It seems that your site title has been replaced by “MobileHub Kenya.” This could be due to various reasons, including how Google chooses to display search results.

    To address this issue, you can start by checking the settings in Rank Math. You can ensure that the correct site name is set in the structured data using Rank Math’s Schema module. Here’s a guide on how to do that: Add a Site Name to Your Website Structured Data

    Additionally, you can also verify the SEO Meta Title & Description settings using Rank Math to ensure that the correct information is being provided to Google. Here’s a guide on how to do that: Check What You Have Set Using Rank Math

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

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

    We checked the URL of the page you shared and can see that the correct meta title and description is shown when you search the page on Google using the site: operator as shown below

    However, we also checked and discovered that a different result is displayed when searched with the keyword provided. You can check the image below:

    Please note that it is common for Google to do this nowadays. Even when everything is fine, Google may choose to display a different meta title for your search query result. Google may sometimes ignore the custom metadata you have set and instead display something else that better matches the search intent.

    Since the pages are already indexed, it is up to Google to show your content for the desired search keyword. Google sometimes tries to adjust the title according to the search intent.

    You can follow this URL for details on this issue:

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
