    At first i thought my site name is showing at the end of my post title in search result, but later today i realize it’s Author name that is being displayed, i tried to confirm on my second blog using with a different author name than the blog name and i comes clear that whoever wrote the post, the person name will be displayed in search result, but i found no settings to remove it.

    Here’s the search result https://prnt.sc/t0guvq

    How do i get rid of it.

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

    Hello @okaztle

    Thank you for your message.

    If it matches your settings, then you must check if Google has seen the changes already or not.

    For that, please check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
    a. https://i.rankmath.com/9q6X0H
    b. https://i.rankmath.com/R8N0Uh

    If the cache date is from before adding the new meta description, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. If the date is after you made the changes, then you just have to wait it out and there is no further input needed from your end.

    Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/description for your search keyword, there is nothing you can do as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.

    Here is an example showing Google changes title depending on the keyword used:

    &

    The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.
