    Hello. I need some help with my website, I set a different site name in Yoast SEO, but when I search for my website on Google, it shows the URL as the site title.

    Can you please help me troubleshoot this? What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Hello @astridmayer,

    Thanks for reaching out about your site name in search results.

    The 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?"name":"Delta Executor"?though the domain name still shows in search results.?See screenshot. So, this isn’t a problem with Yoast SEO or WordPress; doing everything correctly is not a foolproof guarantee.

    I recommend posting a question in the Google Search Central Help Community for further assistance.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The homepage is fine. But I need help with the these page 1 & page 2. For some reasons, we want to have a more focused name to appear. Is this possible with yoast?
