    Hello Team RankMath,

    Hope you are well. I am facing an issue with the indexing of my pages. If the SEO description added via Rankmath works like a charm, the SEO title and Separator are not working properly.

    The SEO title is sometimes rendered, but sometimes it is a different title and in all cases, it misses the separator (while I can see all the data correctly when inspecting the code).

    Please review the video added in sensitive data for a clear overview of the issue with visual explanations.

    Please let me know how I can fix this wrong title and separator issue,
    Will be waiting for your news,
    Thanks for your help,
    Kind regards,
    Sophie

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the SEO title and separator not working correctly on your pages. It seems like Google is displaying a different title than what you have set using Rank Math, and the separator is missing.

    To address this issue, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check What You Have Set Using Rank Math:
      Ensure that you have correctly set the SEO Meta Title using Rank Math. You can refer to this guide on how to edit the SEO title using Rank Math:
      Editing Meta Title and Description using Classic Editor
      Editing Meta Title and Description in Gutenberg

    2. Ensure Your Schema Settings Are Valid:
      Make sure that your schema settings are valid as this can impact how Google displays your titles and descriptions.

    3. Check the Title/Description Set in the Page’s Source Code:
      Verify that the correct title and description are set in the source code of your pages.

    If after checking these steps, the issue persists, you can reach out to our support team directly here for further assistance.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we will do our best to help you resolve this issue.

    Kind regards,
    RankMath Support Team

    Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    It is a pretty common thing with Google these days. It happens with 70% of the results and we even have a KB dedicated to this problem and a few solutions we recommend:

    https://rankmath.com/kb/different-meta-title-and-description/

    Please check the KB and you will understand the reasons Google does this.

    Google has made some changes to their algorithm which automatically changes the titles, discarding the one you have set in your SEO title meta tag. This happens regardless of the SEO plugin you are using. We have covered this Google update here:

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

    Hello,

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

    Please note that nowadays, Google does that very commonly. Even when everything is fine, Google may choose to display a different meta title for your search query result. Google may skip the custom metadata you have set and instead display something from the page’s content that better matches the search intent.

    You can follow this URL for details on this issue:

    Thank you.
