Website title not showing on google search results

    Hi, even if I correctly have “Le Volte Apartments” as my website title Google shows “levolteapartments.it” (as you can see here link) on any result from my domain.

    Google also decided for some reason to add “… – Residence Le Volte Apartments” to all my pages SEO titles, except my homepage, even if in the Yoast SEO tab or in the wordpress page review tab the SEO title that I have for these pages are just: “Edificio”, “Suites”, “Info e contatti” and “Parma”. For these pages search results Google also doesn’t consider the meta-descriptions I wrote showing instead the first part of the text it reeds automatically from the page.

    Does someone know how I could fix this issues?

    From scanning the html of my pages using Google search console I can see that the “og:site_name”, “og:title”, “name”: and “alternateName”: parts of the code are always written correctly but for some reason they do not work.

    Hello @levolte,

    Thanks for reaching out about your search appearance. I’ve addressed your concerns below:

    Hi, even if I correctly have “Le Volte Apartments” as my website title Google shows “levolteapartments.it” (as you can see here link) on any result from my domain.

    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":"Le Volte Apartments" 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.

    Google also decided for some reason to add “… – Residence Le Volte Apartments” to all my pages SEO titles, except my homepage

    If the SEO title and meta description you entered in the Yoast SEO plugin is what’s shown in the page source, it means Google isn’t reflecting your changes. Have you added your site to Google Search Console? Then, you could request indexing so Google can update their index.
