Hey Ole, I was able to change all the settings and then save these. You can see that under “Slogan” where I set “Testtitle” as a text. If this refers to the published site, then you need to publish the site again. Would you like to try this again? ---

Hi Andre, yes, agree - I am able to input these data under settings, but I see no change in the html - and when testing I see the same from a SEO search engine result. Can you tell me, where in the html the ‘Site Name’ should appear (from Sitejet) More info: [Site Names in Google Search | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/site-names) Best, Ole ---

Hey Ole, What is the URL? And did you publish after making that change? ---

Hey Ole, So, visiting the website I see this in the dev tools: ![Screenshot 2025-11-19 100620](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sitejet/original/2X/8/8817f89c482e0bf7dfb768b5e53db2b9bb029c00.png) this is what you wrote in the SEO settings of / ![CMS-JH-Auto-ApS-11-19-2025_10_12_AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sitejet/original/2X/6/6c1e50afc6f74433d2c066318173950bd1f19641.png) So that looks fine to me. I checked this for the preview and the exported, published website. Do you like to check that again please? See if I missed sth there? Second thing would be Google. What shows up in Google search though, is : ![jh-auto-odense-dk-Google-Suche-11-19-2025_10_07_AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sitejet/original/2X/6/60d32206552bf5417c72b2a577f7614b10f8733a.png) This however is how Google crawled and indexed your website. Though it should probably show sth like this: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sitejet/original/2X/e/ea93d499036126053bdbac3865b688fbf3f892bd.png) My assumption here is that Google needs to re-index your website correctly. I assume you are using the Google Search Console? ---

Thanks, Andre. You’ve confirmed what I originally found and wrote, and what I expected. Sitejet doesn’t provide a “Site Name,” and yes — I do use Google Search Console. Best, Ole ---

**Hey Ole, (@Blak2K3),** Welcome to our community! You’re absolutely right to check the HTML output — and your findings make total sense. Just to clarify how Sitejet handles this: Sitejet currently updates the **page title** and **meta description** , but it does **not automatically output** Google’s new _Site Name_ markup (for example the `og:site_name` meta tag). This is why you don’t see any change in the HTML when you update the “Website Name”. If you want Google to pick up a Site Name, you can add it manually: **Website settings → SEO / Meta → Meta tags (Additional header details)** ```auto ``` This injects the correct tag into the `` of your published site. After that, request re-indexing in Google Search Console and Google will usually update the snippet once it recrawls the page. Hope that clears it up a bit — and thanks for raising the question, it helps others too! ---

Good Morning, Thank you @Kalisperakichris .⚡ 🥳 Just to clarify. Right now, we do not create a `site_name`, that is correct. In the original [Google link](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/site-names#website), it is described how to add it manually. However, **I have added a feature request to add this possibility.** But, in my opinion, you would not need a `site_name` for your website to show up correctly in the Google search. This is what the Google article says: > To indicate your site name preference, add WebSite structured data to your home page. Our site name system will also consider content in og:site\_name, , heading elements, and other text on a home page. More importantly: > However, WebSite structured data is most important, if you want to specify a preference. What we do is ` TITLE - SUBPAGE TITLE ` but you can also add your own details to the `` if needed and described by @Kalisperakichris🙏 ![obraz](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sitejet/original/2X/8/8a4586f8507c0d8a7f8b62b0f87de7e32d9b8832.png) In your specific case, you actually have ` AAA ` and ` BBB ` You could go to the search result and click here (sorry if it is in German, but I reckon you see what I mean): ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sitejet/original/2X/8/80a9b5accd9924df8408c3db781ac6b4469d64ca.png) … and ask Google to update this. The same you can do in the Search Console. It could be, that the current search result is either cached or not yet properly indexed. 🙌 Keep us updated, please 🙂 Hope this all helps for a better understanding. ---

To add something: Our developer did some more tests. Also with your tools. This is what one tool shows: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sitejet/original/2X/7/7d0a8290e2b770dea17808033692979b1cd91cb9.png) Does this look correct? ---

Thanks, @Andre — that makes perfect sense and confirms what I saw during testing. Just to add a bit more clarity for anyone else following this thread: ### ✔ Sitejet currently doesn’t output `site_name` in structured data So if you want to _explicitly_ tell Google your preferred site name, you need to add the `WebSite` JSON-LD manually. ### ✔ You can paste the structured data here: **Website Settings → SEO / Meta → Meta tags** ### ✔ Example snippet (Google-approved): ```auto ``` Google uses multiple sources (title, og:title, headings, structured data), but adding the `WebSite` schema helps set a stronger preference. ### ✔ If Google still shows the old site name It’s usually cached SERP data. Requesting reindexing in Search Console + clicking “Feedback → Update” on the SERP box accelerates the refresh. Happy to help ! We love Sitejet! ---

**Yes, this looks correct. The SERP preview tools are showing the updated title and description accurately. This confirms that the website code and metadata are correct — and the remaining issue is simply Google still showing an older cached snippet.** **Requesting reindexing in Search Console + clicking “Update” in the SERP feedback box will help Google refresh it.** ---
