Google is now displaying primary domain and not the sub-domain in search results
Answer ID 12598 |
Last Review Date 03/24/2023
Why does Google display "Oracle Service Cloud Support" instead of my sub-domain in search results?
Environment:
Customer Portal pages indexed by Google.com
Resolution:
Google has changed the way that they display titles of search results. For more information see the following link:
Their algorithm is now looking at the domain and not the sub domain. There are several ways you can address this.
- You can change the Virtual Host Name on our site to something like customercare.<your site>.com. That way google is picking up the primary domain of your site and not Oracle's custhelp domain.
- Google also has a page that explains how to Structured data to suggest to Google what the page name should look like. It also points you to a tool that will let you see how Google sees your site.
