Why is Google Showing Translated Company Name in SERPS?
-
Hello! We have a client whose parent website is in Japan. The us site lives on a US subdomain. Google is pulling the Japanese company name into US search results. Any idea how we can fix this?
-
@SimpleSearch First, you can set the target country in Google Search Console for your US subdomain as the United States. Go to the "Settings" section in your Google Search Console account and select "International Targeting". Then, choose the country you want to target for your US subdomain (in this case, the United States) and submit the changes. This tells Google that your site is intended for US users.
You can also use hreflang tags to indicate your content's language and country/region. This helps Google understand which version of your site to show to users in different countries.
Another option is to add a canonical tag on your US subdomain pages that specifies the US subdomain as the primary version. This helps Google understand which version of the content to display in search results.
Finally, improving the quality and relevance of your content on the US subdomain, as well as building high-quality backlinks from US-based websites, can help improve the visibility of the US subdomain in US search results.
Be patient, as changes may take time to take effect. If the issue persists, consult an SEO specialist.

Should I keep my existing site or start new?
I have a website with less than 3K visits a year. Only customers with an Account with me who have login credentials can see my product pricing and make a purchase onsite; therefore, indexing/page ranking is not a concern for me. My agency suggests that my product catalog be corrected to a parent/child relationship. Currently, each product variation has its own SKU and PDP. As a result, product findability: Site Search, Categorization, and Facets are a mess. Is there any way I can keep my current URL (branding purposes)? I thought we could delete all pages (PLPs & PDPs) and create all new and enforce 301 redirects. Thoughts?

Page Title Displaying Wrong Company Name in Google Search Results
Currently, in some of our keyword search results, the wrong company name is showing up in the page title. We are a family of companies that all provide different modes of transportation. When we search up "Herc Air Charters" in Google Search Engine, the wrong operating company shows up in the page title (see screenshot, second result: "Lynden Transport" is our trucking company, and does not offer any air charter, this should say "Lynden Air Cargo"). Google decides what is best to put in these titles, so what would be the best way to ensure the correct company name is being displayed? Google Search Issue.PNG
