Why is Google showing the wrong title for my webshop FOL?

When I search my webshop’s name “FOL” on google search, it will be shown but with the wrong title(Thai’s) as the screenshot below. *I totally have no idea where this come from..

Based on the trouble shooting of Google, I already did following actions but it has not changed anything.

  • Added the following structured data in “theme.liquid”.
  • Verified the sitemap on Google search console.

Could some one please help me?

[Correct title]

FOL

[URL]

https://fol.jpn.com/

[Structured Data]

{% if template contains ‘index’ %}

{% endif %}

Your title tag is showing this line:

FOL:フォル 身長160cm前後のサイズだけのセレクトショップ

The incorrect title might not be because of google not updating the search result. You can submit the sitemap in google search console or trigger a manual scrape of the home page url. But there is no way to make google to update the search result in real time.

Thanks so much for your reply Jam.

the title you sent is correct.

I requested again the Index registration and let’s see how it changes.

Finally I found the solution, to optimize the shop name showing on Google search result.

Hope this will help for someone would have the similar issue as me.

Proper Shopify site name

  • Settings→Store Details→Store Name ※Must be matched 100% with the name used on the website

Update structured data

  • Structured data is located in header.liquid
  • Add “alternateName” : “EXAMPLE”, to the line after “name” line

Update Google Search Console

  • Inspect URL→test public URL (if there is a code error, the reason is shown in the sitelink search box) →when there is no error, request indexing
  • Submit sitemap with sitemap.xml
