Duckduckgo doesn't show the site title in its SERP

[Gavrillo]

Hi

I hope I've come to the right place. Apologies if not.

I've installed a site called Social Care Alliance Haringey. If I search for it on Google I get results like the ones in the attachment (SCAH pic 1). I would like the name of the organisation to appear, but it never does.

I notice that Joomla! has added microdata stating that the 'name' of the website is 'home'. ( I've included a screen shot of the code in pic 2).

I think if I can change the microdata so that it states what the site name actually is, this would help, but I can't find the code. It's generated by Joomla! I expect. Could anyone tell me how I can change this?

If this isn't really the problem, could someone tell me how to configure my site so that the site name comes up?

I'd be deeply grateful for any help.

I've added data from FPA below in case it's helpful.

It's coming from your default ('Home') menu item. To change page title, edit this menu item. Switch to 'Page Display' tab and enter your desired title into 'Browser Page Title' field.

Your folder permissions are 777 this is very dangerous and will make hacking your site easy. Change folders to 755, files to 644 and preferably the configuration.php to 444.

SharkyKZ: Thanks for your reply. I tried what you said to do but it hasn't made a difference. Actually it wasn't Google not showing the title (sorry to have misled you), but Duckduckgo. I've since used Google and that shows the title correctly. I only tested this after I'd added the data to 'Browser Page Title', so I'm not sure if this was as a result of your advice. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for taking time to reply.

You can use hardcoding to represent meta title to check the problem, if after hardcoding this problem is not resolve then you can check SEO plugin.
