Site name in Google Search

Hi, I have the same issue. Were you able to figure out how to fix it?

This is a screengrab of the SERPs showing URL instead of Website name.

Yes, mine looks the same. Even when I tried to update the meta description, it didn’t seem to change the site name. Other sites have their actual site name like: “I love Hot Dogs” instead of “Ilovehotdogs.com”. I can’t figure out how to correct mine. I’ll keep searching and I’ll let you know if I find out how to correct it.

Hello @willemfm

Thanks for reaching out about your search appearance. According to?Google’s documentation, it uses several different sources to determine the site name automatically, and you can indicate your preference by adding?WebSite?structured data. The?WebSite?node is a parent piece of the?Web Page?schema. You can see more information about this at?https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/pieces/website/.

I ran your site URL through Google’s rich result test tool and schema validator, and I can confirm that Yoast SEO is outputting the necessary schema to show your site name in search results instead of the site URL. See screenshot.

Since you have everything set up correctly, please allow time for re-crawling and re-indexing. Remember that it may take a while for Google to find and crawl it. For general questions about crawling and indexing, check the?Google Search crawling and indexing FAQ.

If the issue persists, please post a question in the?Google Search Central Help Community.

@seedsidehustle I’m sorry you’re having the same issue. Please open a new request. That way, it’s easier to track issues and provide assistance. Thanks!

Thank you, @maybellyne !
