One of our Korean clients (who would like to remain unamed) has a problem with their section of their website (subfolder). They are part of an international organization. Let’s call them “Foobar” for our purposes.

THE SETUP

www.foobar.com (redirects to country site ie. www.foobar.com/korea/)

www.foobar.com/korea/ title tag shows <title>Foobar Korea</title>

www.foobar.com/usa/ title tag shows <title>Foobar USA</title>

www.foobar.com/international/en/ title tag shows <title>Foobar International</title>

THE PROBLEM

In Google’s SERP, when searching “foobar korea” (for example), their pages under www.foobar.com/korea/ show up in search results with the title altered by Google in the SERP that read “Lorem Ipsum – Foobar Korea – Foobar USA“.

This problem also appears in other country sites like Japan, China, etc.

It seems like Google is convinced that the entire domain is Foobar USA.

OUR FAILED ATTEMPTS

We have tried adding structured data to the HTML pages with the name Foobar Korea, but that had no effect.

We registered the property separately in Google Search Console, but that has no effect.

We also have registered the www.foobar.com/korea/ as a Google My Business with the name Foobar Korea.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER WAYS TO LET GOOGLE KNOW?
