Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
Rank Math makes it easier than ever to write the perfect meta title for your blog posts and pages.
Google and other search engines often choose not to simply use the meta title you’ve set.
Here are some of the most common reasons Google might not use the meta title you’ve provided:
– The meta title is not relevant or useful or lacks quality (ie, just a collection of keywords).
– The exact same meta title is provided across a large number of pages.
– The meta title on doesn’t match what the user is searching for, but other content on the page does.
However in your case scenario it is possible that the latest version of your pages hasn’t been indexed.
We suggest you to proceed to check whether Google has picked up on the changes by checking when Google’s cache was last updated for the pages.
If the cache date is from before adding the new meta title, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with your new updated meta title.

Thank you.
Thank you for your reply. I have checked and Google has most recently crawled/indexed my site on the 30th of April. I updated the titles on the 28th and the issue is still persisting.
Hello,
I’ve checked the link you shared from your screenshot, and the correct title is already showing. Please refer to the screenshot added in the sensitive data section.
However, please note that Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and shows something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better. In this case, the best you can do is optimize your meta title and description to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
