Slug Change

    Rank Math free

    Hi. When I installed rank math, Google started showing the category of my articles instead of the full slug in the search results page.

    For example, One of my articles is “How to start a chess game”. It will show:
    https://maroonchess.com/ › Guides
    Instead of https://maroonchess.com › how-to-start-a-chess-game

    I did some research and it says that it is actually an enhancement. However, I’d like it to display the full slug instead.

    How do I go about getting it back?

    Best

  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I checked for the URL by searching on Google and it seems to be showing the correct one on SERPs. Here’s a screenshot for your reference:

    However, as it’s solely decided by Google that what they wants to show on SERPs, sometimes things can be changed or rewritten by Google only to show them on SERPs, even if you’ve set the correct one on your site. In that case, the best you can do is optimize your meta description to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

    Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Thank you.
