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.
