Web name missing announcements

Raj technology-driven May 24, 2025

  If your website's name isn't appearing correctly in search results or announcements aren't visible on your portal, here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve these issues:

🧭 Website Name Missing in Google Search Results

1. Implement WebSite Structured Data

Ensure your homepage includes the WebSite schema using JSON-LD format. Here's an example:(Stack Overflow)

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "WebSite",
  "name": "Your Site Name",
  "url": "https://www.yoursite.com",
  "alternateName": ["YourSite", "Your Site"]
}
</script>

Including the alternateName property can help Google recognize different variations of your site name .(WordPress.org)

2. Verify Structured Data Implementation

Use Google's Rich Results Test and Schema Markup Validator to ensure your structured data is correctly implemented and free of errors.(Stack Overflow)

3. Check for Missing Fields

Errors like "Missing: name" in structured data can prevent Google from displaying your site name properly. Ensure all required fields are populated .(Kriesi)

4. Allow Time for Google to Update

After making changes, it may take some time for Google to recrawl your site and update search results. You can request indexing via Google Search Console.(Tassos Marinos)

📣 Announcements Not Visible on Your Portal

If you're using platforms like ServiceNow or similar, and announcements aren't displaying:

1. Check Announcement Settings

  • Portal Assignment: Ensure each announcement is assigned to the correct portal.

  • Display Style: Verify that the 'Display style' field is set; leaving it blank can prevent announcements from showing .(Reddit, ServiceNow)

2. Resolve Specific Errors

For ServiceNow users, inactivating announcements with the name 'ISC

Run As User' can resolve visibility issues .(ServiceNow)

3. Review Portal Configuration

In platforms like Squarespace, the announcement bar might be hidden behind other elements. Adjust your site's CSS or layout settings to ensure visibility .(Squarespace Forum)
