Hi,
I am trying to search my keyword on Google Search ‘Real Cricket 19 APk’ it is showing my website name at the last of my article but I haven’t set it on my Yoast SEO. The results are fine on my laptop but it is showing different results on my mobile phone. I have checked many other articles and I am facing the same issue. Can you please help me what is the problem with that? It’s really impacting my rankings and search results numbers. The headings are fine on my laptop Search results but on mobile, it is showing my website name after most of the article.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

See, I have selected this heading in the Yoast Seo https://pasteboard.co/sqDyvcWixHxC.png and it is showing me this heading https://pasteboard.co/u2PkTW82JBAc.png in the Google Search Results. Can you please check it?. It is affecting my Google rankings. Earlier everything was fine with these same settings. I don’t know what happened to it now. This error is with most of my articles. I think Yoast is adding the website name to the last of the heading on its own.

Hi @apksforfree

We checked on https://www.apksforfree.com/minecraft-java-edition-apk/ and viewed the page source and can confirm that the title and meta description tags do align with what you’ve entered in the Yoast SEO meta box.

However, even when doing a SITE: search here, it does seem to be using a slightly different title and meta description. In this case, it’s likely that Google is ignoring your preferred title and meta description and outputting its own (as it also doesn’t seem to be a cache issue as the last cached date is May 8, 2022).

You can learn more about it here – https://yoast.com/help/my-seo-title-isnt-displayed-as-i-have-entered-it/ & https://yoast.com/help/my-meta-descriptions-arent-showing-up-in-the-search-result-pages/

Earlier everything was fine. I just shifted to another hosting provider and the issue began from then only. My site title is ‘Apks For Free’ in WordPress settings and it is showing ‘Apksforfree’ on every post and page of my website. I haven’t added it anywhere. Only Yoast controls my search results. So why Google has added my website title on its own and shown it to all the pages and posts. I really don’t want it.

https://pasteboard.co/P2wrteuAn1B9.jpg Check this. Even the about us page is showing two headings. The first one is added in WordPress and the second one is added on its own.

Taking https://www.apksforfree.com/about-us/ as an example, the title in the page source is <title>About Us - Apks For Free</title>. This matches what you mentioned that you entered in the Yoast SEO plugin. As mentioned by Michael above, the issue is not Yoast SEO as the plugin does not control what Google outputs.

Google is ignoring your preferred title. You can take a look at https://yoast.com/help/my-seo-title-isnt-displayed-as-i-have-entered-it/ where we explain more
