I want my site logo to look like the second image rather than the first. However, when I do the settings in the second image, the site is displayed as "Example - Site" in bookmarks and Google search results rather than "Example Site". Aside from looking bad, this is also terrible for SEO. How can I get the site to look like the second image while displaying the site's title as "Example Site"?

It makes no sense to use it as part of the site name. If you want your site name to look different, upload a logo image. Regardless, you seem to be using WordPress. This is a forum for discussing development with the WordPress software. – Jacob Peattie Commented Jan 9, 2019 at 7:49
- I am not using WordPress, I am using Bluehost. And even if I were using WordPress this is still an issue with the Wordpress software itself. I want the aesthetic of the second image, but that can only be accomplished by making "Example" the title and "Site" the tagline (which I do not want). Taking a screenshot and using that as a logo is definitely possible, but it would not be professional or optimized. – Rooney Commented Jan 9, 2019 at 7:57
- How is it not professional? I guarantee you that 90%+ of the websites you've ever visited had image logos. Anyway, even if you're using Bluehost (who apparently custom style the customiser?), it's still not a WordPress software issue, it's your theme. Your theme has opted to display the site title and tagline like that. Having the hyphen between the name and tagline in the title is the correct behaviour. – Jacob Peattie Commented Jan 9, 2019 at 8:41

Reset to default 0Depends a little bit if you use a SEO plugin (in most of them the appearance of the title (what you see in bookmarks and Google) is just a setting) or which theme you are using. In some of the themes you also have a setting for the title, in other you would have to go into the code.
