* Hello
* I find that since I created a sitemap file for a website of mine and I type into
Google “Firstname Secondname it now appears but at the moment is around 9th in
the list.
* I am confused by this – if I type into Google “Home Firstname Secondname” then
it appears much higher up.
* I can see “Home Firstname Secondname” in the of the html code.
* I have another similar site where the word Home does not appear in the .
* I am curious to know why this happens with one and not the other? and why I get
a higher result when using the name of the wordpress page?
* Can your SEO plugin help re this?
* Cheers
* Geoff

* This typically means your theme or another plugin is adding information to the
title tag.
* You can set the homepage SEO title and description in the settings under
* Admin > SEO > Titles & Metas* > Homepage
* * If you do not see Titles & Metas, the advanced settings can be enabled by following
the steps [here](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/remove-advanced-yoast-seo-settings/#utm_source=support&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=support-link).

* Plus add meta words?

* If your homepage displays your latest posts, you will see two boxes: one for
the title and one for the description. Clicking on the Help Center will display
a tutorial video explaining the process.
* If your homepage is a static page, you will see a link that will takes you to
the edit page screen for the homepage. You will enter the title and description
in the snippet preview just like you do for other posts and pages. Clicking on
the Help Center will display a tutorial video explaining the process.
