I'm having issue setting the Site Name that appears on google search

Store Design
, , ,

Topic summary

A store owner wants Google search results to display “Genix Carbon” as the site name instead of “genixcarbon.com”. They’ve already configured the Store Name in Settings > General and updated the Homepage Title/Meta Description, but Google still shows the domain name.

Key troubleshooting steps discussed:

  • The og:site_name meta tag is already set to “Genix Carbon”
  • Google Search Console re-crawl was requested and completed 2 days ago
  • Store Name has been configured for several months

Recommended solutions:

  • Add WebSite structured data (Google’s preferred method for determining site names)
  • Ensure proper schema markup is in place
  • Request re-indexing through Google Search Console
  • Consider using the Yoast SEO app, which automates structured data implementation

Important clarification: One contributor confirmed the site already has correct WebSite structured data, og:site_name, and title tags properly configured. They emphasized that site owners can only recommend a site name to Google through these methods—Google ultimately decides what to display and may not respect the preference.

Status: The technical setup appears correct. The issue may resolve over time as Google re-processes the site, though there’s no guarantee Google will use the preferred site name.

Can I confirm with you that I need to replace the current part with the following?

<title>Genix Carbon</title>
    <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
      "@context" : "https://www.genixcarbon.com",
      "@type" : "WebSite",
      "name" : "Genix Carbon",
      "url" : "https://genixcarbon.com/"
    }
  </script>
