Still no title in Google Search results

    I have been using the Yoast SEO plugin for over a month now and I am absolutely happy with it. It allows me to create meaningful search result context for all my pages and posts. No complaints there!

    One thing bothers me though. I cannot seem to get Google to use my site title in the search results. I was wondering if I am doing things correctly. Could you please help me out?

    Hello @ericjager2012

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin and the kind words. I checked the page source and what’s in Google search results and didn’t notice a difference:

    See screenshot

    <title>Enterprise Architecture Implementation Wheel • EA Wheel</title>

    Can you share a screenshot of what you have entered in the Yoast SEO plugin as the SEO title for that page?

    Hi there, thank you for getting back to me so soon! Really appreciate it.

    Perhaps I gave you the wrong idea… My bad. I do see my site title in the search results, as you correctly point out. What I meant was that the name of my website (website name?) isn’t showing in the results. It simply says “eawheel.com” instead of “EA Wheel”.

    So I apologize for using the incorrect terms.

    Ah! I see you meant the site name. By default, the Yoast SEO plugin will use the name of your WordPress site as the website name, as indicated in?WordPress > Settings > General. If you want a different name to be displayed in the search results, you can change the site name in the field?WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > General > Site Basics > Website name. This will overwrite the default WordPress site name in the structured data code that Yoast SEO outputs for the?name?of the?WebSite.

    In addition to controlling the site name, you can also control the output for the?alternateName?structured data by filling in the “Alternate website name” field. Like?name, this is a property of the?WebSite?structured data. Here, you can enter a (potentially shorter) alternate name for your website. You can read more?here.

    I ran the URL through Google’s rich result test tool, and you have the correct site name, though the domain name still shows in search results. See screenshot.

    Google is currently aware that your preferred site name may not be selected and are actively working to address this. You can read more here.

    Ah, well thank you! It’s good to know that everything seems to configured correctly on my end. I’ll just wait some more for Google to fix what isn’t working.

    Thanks again!
