Google displays Site Title as our domain URL

Please consider adding a website settings tab for Structured Data to help better feed Site Title and other data about the site to Google.

Google Search results for our website would only display our URL for the Site Title. This is because our site did not have any Schema (Structured Data) to tell Google what the Site Title should be displayed as. Google looks for this structured data to interpret what the Site Title should read as, and when nothing is provided, it defaults to the domain URL.

Once I added JSON-LD script to the site header via the "tracking cookies" code injection area, Google picked up our new Site Title and started displaying it. This structured data must specify the data type as WebSite and then provide the preferred site name.

See Google documentation here for proper formatting: developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/site-names#guidelines
