Google doesn't list site title, instead puts website address

What settings should I change to resolve this?

Hi @mhuk01 it sounds like you are referencing site names in Google. If the site is new and you followed best practices, then you just need to wait. Note, we've seen some personal brands with existing extensive online footprints take longer. Info on how to influence site names is here: https://www.collaborada.com/blog/site-names

Hi - @mhuk01,

Happy to help. Below, I've added a few solutions that might be helpful:

• If this is a new website, it's common for newly published websites to take some time to appear in search results. You can submit your sitemap to Google Search Console so that Google can discover your pages efficiently.
• You can use the URL Inspection Tool on Google Search Console to perform live tests for the URL and submit indexing requests while doing the live tests. It will help refresh the data in the search results.
  • Check out this video: URL Inspection Tool.    
  • Check out this video: You Google Search Console Guide (+ Tips & Tricks).
• You can implement website structure datamarkup. 
  • Page setting > Advanced > Place this code
  • For better understanding check out this screenshot: https://prnt.sc/mhiUomEim2wW 

<script type="application/ld+json">
  {
    "@context": "https://schema.org",
    "@type": "WebSite",
    "name": "My Site Title",
    "alternateName": ["Site name", "name"],
    "url": "https://www.example.com/"
  }
</script>

Please keep in mind that Google's crawling and indexing process may take some time to reflect changes or updates made to your site's

I hope these solutions are helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Sadul Sifat.
