    Rank Math free

    Hi,

    Please my website in the search result displays my URL instead of the site name. I’ve learned this could be done in RankMath but I couldn’t find where to do that exactly.

    I already have a page title for my homepage. Even though I disabled this title from displaying on the homepage in my theme, RankMath and Google display it. The problem is that Google fails to show it on top of the search results.

    Also, when I check my RankMath Basic SEO Analyzer, it says I do not have H1 Heading.

    Please is there a setting in RankMath to fix this?

    Thank you for your help.

    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.

    For more details, you can check this URL: https://rankmath.com/kb/display-site-name-in-search-results/

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

    Thank you.
