    Here are the steps to ensure your site name is displayed:

    1. Add a Site Name to Your Homepage Title Tag:

      • Go to WordPress Dashboard → Settings and enter your site name in the Site Title field. You can also add a description in the Tagline field.
        Enter a site name in Site Title field
      • Scroll down and click Save Changes.
        Click Save Changes

    2. Add a Site Name to Your Homepage H1 Header Tag:

    3. Add a Site Name to Your Open Graph Metadata:

      • If you have Rank Math installed, the Open Graph metadata is automatically added to your homepage, so you can skip this step.

    4. Add a Site Name to Your Website Structured Data:

      • Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Local SEO and fill in the required fields, including the Website Name.
        Head over to Rank Math SEO
      • After filling in the details, scroll down and click Save Changes.
        Scroll down the page and click Save Changes

    5. Request Google to Reindex Your Homepage:

      • Use Google Search Console to request indexing of your homepage after making these changes. Enter your homepage URL and click REQUEST INDEXING.
        Click Request Indexing

    After making these changes, it may take some time for Google to reflect them in search results. If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern! We hope this helps you get your site name displayed correctly in search results.

    Hello,

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

    Please note that there are various sources that Google uses to define your site name on SERPs including:

    • og:site_name meta tag
    • WebSite structured data
    • Content in title elements
    • Heading elements

    Among them, Rank Math automatically includes the og:site_name meta tag and the WebSite Schema on your website, and the rest you’ll have to include manually. You can also check the Google documentation on site-name: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/site-names

    However, as is mentioned in the documentation, this process is automated by the algorithm and even though it takes into account the information on the website, it is still not guaranteed that your site name will come up correctly in Google SERPs since it’s solely decided by Google what they found relevant and user-friendly and which one they want to show.

    For more details, you can check this URL: https://rankmath.com/kb/display-site-name-in-search-results/

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

    Thank you.
