Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
There are various sources that Google uses to define your site name on SERPs. For example, the content in og:site_name meta tag, in the schema, etc.
Hence, I’d suggest you follow the guidelines by Google I’ve shared below to let Google pick the correct sitename for your site.
To set the homepage title, go to WordPress dashboard > Rank Math > Title & Meta > Homepage > Homepage Title, and here you can set your site name as you wish.
Next, go to WordPress dashboard > Rank Math > Title & Meta > Local SEO and set the website name and organization name for your organization, and click “Save Changes” to set the organization/local business schema.
The other option is going to your WordPress > Settings > General > Site Title and tagline.
Please note that it’s 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.
The best you can do is to follow the guidelines by Google strictly:

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Thank you for your reply. I had already done all of those things prior to your response. I guess I will never know how to fix this problem.
Hello,
There are a lot of things that need to match for the website to show the accurate name and in the case of your website, technically speaking, everything seems to be accurate but there might be an issue with the name of the website because there’s a very well-known website and podcast with the same name and Google clearly states that the name should be unique in the guidelines.
Because of that, and since that website already displays the site name it might just be impossible for your website to show the same name because the algorithm ignores it in favor of the other one.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
