Site URL displaying instead of Site Name in Google search.

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with Google displaying the URL instead of the site name in search results. This can be frustrating, but we can help you resolve it.

To ensure that Google displays your site name correctly, you need to set up the site name in various locations, including the WebSite structured data. Here’s how you can do it using Rank Math:

1. Enable the Schema module in Rank Math SEO by navigating to WordPress Dashboard -> Rank Math SEO and enabling the Schema module.
   

2. Head over to Rank Math SEO -> Titles & Meta -> Local SEO and fill in the required fields, including the Website Name, Person or Company, Person/Organization Name, Logo, and URL.
   

3. Make sure to save the changes after filling in the necessary fields.

By following these steps, you can provide Google with the correct site name information, which should help display your site name instead of the URL in search results.

If you encounter any difficulties or need further assistance, please feel free to ask. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

Warm regards.

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
• 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.

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

Thank you.
