Hello, we’re sorry to hear that you’re still experiencing issues with your site name not showing up in search results. We understand how frustrating this can be.
It’s important to note that even after configuring the Rank Math Local SEO settings, it may take some time for Google to re-crawl and update the search results to display your site name instead of the URL.
To speed up the process, we recommend following these steps:
-
Request Google to Reindex Your Homepage: You can navigate to the Google Search Console, enter your homepage URL, and click “REQUEST INDEXING” to inform Google of the update.
-
Submit URL to Google Using Instant Indexing: If you have already configured Google’s Instant Indexing, you can head over to Rank Math SEO → Instant Indexing and enter your homepage URL into the provided field and click the “Send to API” button.
By following these steps, you can inform Google of the changes made to your site name and potentially speed up the process of getting your site name displayed in search results.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reply here, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will be more than happy to assist you.

Thanks. I have reindexed the site prior to this ticket. Any idea how long it might be before I see changes? Is there any way someone can take a look at my site to see if I missed something?
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
We’ve checked your site, and the site name is correctly added to the page source. Since you have followed all the guidelines of Google, you will have to wait for them to decide to show the site name in the SERPs.
Please note that Google uses a machine learning algorithm to generate the Sitename for your pages based on other information it has collected about your website and your industry.
I would suggest to keep on mentioning the desired title on both the title of the page and the schema structure (which our plugin automatically adds after configuring the Local SEO settings in Rank Math > Titles & Meta).
Also, please go through the Google guidelines about the site name to help you increase the chances of displaying the desired site name on the SERP: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/site-names
Moreover, it is completely up to Google, and even if your site has followed all the guidelines, they can still decide to show a different or no site name. You should keep working on improving your site’s content quality and authority to increase the chances of your site name appearing in the SERPs.
Hope that helps.
