    This is my site: http://www.nabsetup.net

    How do I change the Title & Description of the search result?

    This is what is showing up in organic google search results:

    nabsetup.net
    North American Bancard is proud to be headquartered in Portland. ... At North American Bancard, we help you connect to that pipeline by supplying cash ...
    nabsetup.net/ - Cached

    Here's a snippet of what I have in my header.php file:

    <title><?php wp_title(''); ?><?php if(wp_title('', false)) { echo ' :'; } ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>
    <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    It seems to be pulling some of the text from my home page. Not sure where the title is pulling from, maybe the url.

    I've tried seo plugins but they are for posts and pages. They allow editing for posts and pages, but my home isnt a "page" nor have I fooled around with making a static page.

    Try giving your site a name in Settings -> General.

    I did that, I also gave it a description. It only shows up at the top of the browser.

    I can't see any reason why Google may not be showing the correct site title. Unfortunately, it's impossible to dictate to Google what it should, or should not, display. You may find that the problem resolves itself over the next 90 days as Google refreshes its cache.
