Technical Q&A

Hi! I am interested in learning how I can update my site to display my business name - Confetti Jar - instead of confettijar.com. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Add a meta tag like so to your head tag:

Thank you! Can you tell me where I put that?

Hi! I did do this, but it is still showing the website. Any other thoughts?

Try microdata using JSON LD, seems they have moved away from og:site_name:

Did you find a solution I am having the same issue.

Hi there, @times ! Thanks for following up on this older thread!

I recommend checking out the comment posted by @joeybab3 above your comment here! You can use HTML in your themeā€™s coding to guide Googleā€™s crawling bots on what you would like your ā€˜site nameā€™ to be! I recommend checking out the link they shared (here it is again) for some information on how to make this change for yourself!

Thanks for the link. I already have what appears to be correct in the code, but itā€™s still not working. This really shouldnā€™t be this difficult to have a business name appear in search results.

      "@context":
      "@type":
      "name":
      "url": "https:\/\/websiteurl.com"

Hi! I ended up having to use a ā€œSecondary Nameā€ and Google chose that name,
which was better than the URL.

I see the google things like @type , in the code (forum wouldnā€™t let me post al the code), but NO idea where to edit these. Any help with that? Iā€™ve tried searching things like ā€œ@typeā€ in the code but canā€™t find them. Any ideas? If I can find that then I can add an secondary name.

Should be in your theme.liquid
