How to change the site name in Framer

Learn how to influence the site name that appears in Google search results.

The site name appears in Google above your page title. While Google ultimately decides what to display, you can influence its choice using structured data and meta tags.

Option 1: Add WebSite schema markup

The most reliable method is to define your preferred site name using WebSite schema markup on your homepage. This structured data helps Google understand how your site should be labeled in search results. To add schema markup:

  1. Open your homepage in Framer.

  2. Add structured data using JSON-LD.

  3. Define the WebSite schema and include your preferred site name.

If you need help adding structured data, refer to our guide on Structured data through JSON-LD. Following Google’s structured data guidelines increases the likelihood that your preferred site name will appear in search results.

Option 2: Add the og:site_name meta tag

You can also suggest a site name by adding an Open Graph meta tag in the <head> section of your site settings. To do this:

  1. Open your site settings.

  2. Go to the general settings where you can edit the <head> content.

  3. Add the following meta tag, replacing brand_name with your preferred site name:

<meta property="og:site_name" content="brand_name" />

Publish your site after making changes. To see how your meta information is displayed across services like Google, X, LinkedIn, Slack, and more, use the Meta Check tool in Framer. This helps you preview how your site appears when shared and ensures your metadata is set up correctly.

Follow Google’s guidelines
