Hi @tls2011,

To change the text that shows up, you need to change your SEO title and description. To change this, click on your page's settings, go to SEO and then fill them in (attached).

Your SEO title should be 50-60 characters, and your SEO description should be 150-160 characters.

As for the helpful links that pop up, this is a bit more tricky. Putting the pages you want in the header of your website can help, as well as adding more internal links to the pages you want to show.

Overall, by having good on-page SEO and a solid page structure, you can impact what shows, but Google has a mind of its own!

Hi Henry,

I've done this and it is still showing my web address, and not my site title.

This is what I need help with with my website. I have changed it in SEO but it still shows the website domain instead. How do I fix this please?
