    Rank Math free

    Hello,

    I recently changed from Yoost to RankMath and am having two problems.

    1. My site byronmccaughey.com is showing in Google on mobile, but not desktop

    2. On mobile the line at the top of the search result says “byronmccaughey.com” instead of Byron McCaughey which is my Site Title and that’s what I want to say there.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Also on a side note, I found out that WooCommerce was inserting “noindex” line for my Homepage. It took me a long time to figure out why google was not indexing my homepage. Do you have any idea why WooCommerce would do that? I have since deleted the plug in.

    Cheers,
    Byron

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issues you are facing with your site. Thank you for raising these concerns.

    1. Site Visibility on Desktop vs. Mobile

    For your site to appear on desktop but not on mobile, it could be related to how Google indexes your site. You can check the indexation status using the Google Search Console. Make sure to verify that there are no errors preventing your homepage from being indexed on desktop. Additionally, you can request Google to reindex your homepage by entering your homepage URL in the Search Console and clicking REQUEST INDEXING.

    2. Displaying Site Title in Search Results

    To ensure that your site title appears correctly in search results, follow these steps:

    • Add a Site Name to Your Homepage Title Tag: Go to WordPress Dashboard → Settings and enter your site name in the Site Title field. Then, scroll down and click Save Changes.
      Enter a site name in Site Title field
    • Set a Homepage Meta Title: You can set your homepage meta title manually to include your site name. This is important because if Google cannot determine your site name, it may not display it correctly. You can refer to this guide on setting a homepage meta title and description using Rank Math.

    3. WooCommerce Inserting "noindex"

    Regarding WooCommerce inserting a "noindex" line for your homepage, this can happen if the plugin settings are configured to prevent indexing for certain pages, often to avoid duplicate content or for pages that are not meant to be indexed. If you have removed the plugin and are still facing issues, ensure that there are no remnants of its settings affecting your site. You might want to check your robots.txt file and any other SEO settings that could influence indexing.

    If you continue to experience these issues, please reply to this ticket with any additional details, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for your patience, and we hope this helps resolve your concerns!
