  Hello Gabrielle,

  Google (and other search engines) pick up that text from the content of the page. Specifically, the blue highlighted text is taken from the page title.
  To configure that in WordPress just open from the blog dashboard Settings > General.
  The “Site Title” and “Tagline” are the two part hat compose the page title and that’s what search engines will pick up.

  To read more on that settings page you can refer to this support page:

  I hope this helps. :)
