  I changed the name and tagline of my site in Settings but when I search for the site in Google, it still has the old site name. Can this be changed?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!

  Google search robots take a bit of time to re-index the site and make the changes live.

  How long has it been since you changed the name and tagline?

  Thanks! I only changed it yesterday. I’ll check again maybe in a couple of days’ time.

  You can also ask Google to refetch your page:

  You’ll need to verify your site first if you haven’t already:
