 * I understand that google sometimes show different title than my title tag or 
   meta tag.
    My site title is “Lucky8Cats” but strangely enough google is showing“
   Lucky8Cats Logo” on the search result. Any help or tips fix this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwrong-title-on-google-search%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Whereas Google typically uses the title from the metadata for indexing, this 
   is not always the case. Google will sometimes modify the title of the URL as 
   it sees fit, as well as sometimes adding the brand or sitename to the end of 
   your title. This is not due to the plugin not functioning as expected, but rather
   is due to Google modifying the Title it indexes as it’s algorithm has concluded
   that there is a better version to index.
 * We also have additional information on this topic available at the following 
   links: [https://yoast.com/google-page-title/](https://yoast.com/google-page-title/)
   and [https://kb.yoast.com/kb/google-shows-different-titles-for-my-site/](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/google-shows-different-titles-for-my-site/).
   Please refer to these articles as the include recommendations for crafting a 
   page title which will help increase the likelihood that Google will use the title
   you specified instead of modifying your page’s title as it sees fit.
