About two years ago, one of the freelancers \ SEO agencies working on our site (no one actually admitted to doing so or to knowing how to revert this change), apparently changed some variable \ add-on, so that the name of the firm (??? ??? ??? ???? at the time) was automatically added to all google search results.

Fast forward about two years. The name of the firm, and thus the name of the site, change. Having the old name automatically appear in search results is misleading (and also, having random bits of Hebrew the target audience can’t read in English search results is aesthetically displeasing). How can I figure out what causes this issue and turn it off?

Note that just about every article on our website has a manually defined SEO headline and meta description via Yoast. So as you scroll through search results and encounter random bits of Hebrew:
https://www.google.co.il/search?q=site:https://lawoffice.org.il/+a&sxsrf=APq-WBu9D7vmkVlv8uOdjzkpCUfZuNi3-Q:1646900086281&ei=drMpYpjgEMuP8gLzzYWADw&start=0&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwiY8_30jLv2AhXLh1wKHfNmAfA4ZBDy0wN6BAgBEDw&biw=1248&bih=584&dpr=1.54

You’ll note that the they don’t appear in the Yoast definitions for said article. Neither “Registering a foreign NGO in Israel” nor “The process of registering a company in Israel”, nor any of the milliard other articles that have the firm’s old title in Hebrew randomly appended to their google search result headline actually have that title in Yoast.

I’d just like to emphasize that, because “oh, just remove the automatic ‘site title’ tag added in Yoast” seems to be the default response, and that’s not the issue here.

Hi @sashakishko

We’re clicking on the link that you’re providing and we are unable to locate any characters in Hebrew for the URLs that are appearing. Could you provide us with a specific URL?

Please do note that with the Yoast SEO plugin, you can set an SEO title and a meta description, and if the plugin is working, those are the values that will output in the page source. We can’t control if Google decides to output a different title or meta description based on incorrect settings from years ago, but you can try and request indexing for updated information and see if it helps.

I’m linking to the search results rather than url, precisely because I’m fairly sure that the definitions of particular articles have nothing to do with it.

Going through the link above, for me, the problem involves search result 9 (I’m sure the order is different for you), “Registering a foreign NGO in Israel”, which looks like this, “Registering a foreign NGO in Israel – 03-3724722 – ??? ??? …”,
13, “The process of establishing a company in Israel – ??? ??? ??? …”
25, “Getting a Copy of an Order Issued by a Court in Israel – ??? ??? …” and others, popping up here and there.
The specific article URLs are, respectively:
https://lawoffice.org.il/en/foreign-ngo-in-israel/
https://lawoffice.org.il/en/the-process-of-establishing-a-company-in-israel/
https://lawoffice.org.il/en/getting-copy-of-an-order-issued-by-a-court-in-israel/

Hi @sashakishko

We’re doing a SITE: search here, and we are seeing some Hebrew characters in the title output in the SERP.

But we viewed the page source of https://lawoffice.org.il/en/foreign-ngo-in-israel/ and we can confirm that the title tag and meta description tag don’t have any characters in Hebrew:

<title>Registering a foreign NGO in Israel – 03-3724722 – Israeli law office</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”Our law firm helps clients establish a non-profit organization or foreign NGO in Israel. Contact us for advice”>

This is likely an issue with a previous implementation and that’s the version that Google has cached. You can try and request for updated information and see if this helps update it eventually – https://yoast.com/help/fetch-as-googlebot/
