Google Search Results shows different variations when searched the Website name with adding a space. I am Using WordPress Yoast Plugin.
Sometimes the results just show as a link and sometimes the results shows with the Inner Page Link details as well?
Does anyone can help what makes that happen?
See Attached Sample
The inner page links you are referring are called termed as site-links by google, and these site-links are picked up by google based on your website ranking/traffic/popularity the more old/famous your site the fast site-links will be picked-up by google.
The search result is depends on the search phrase you use, Google will always match the search term with the title of the site, if more close the match the higher probability of pulling the site links.
You can also user google search console to demote the links to appear in google search.
And the Yoast SEO plugin will give you the options to title,describe,keyword every post and page of wordpress site, but this plugin/ any other plugins have no direct effect on this site links.

When searched on Google my website (elesztohaz.hu) shows up several non-existent pages that seems to come from a separate website. You can see a few on this SERP page. These results all lead to a 404 page however but I'm unable to find an answer to how Google indexed them in the first place.
Another, more pressing problem would be that several (main) pages on my site are not getting indexed at all. You can see it on the attached screengrab.Search Console screengrab I double checked everything in WP but haven't found anything amiss. No phantom pages and signs of breach.
The website was built with the Divi builder for Wordpress. Any help would be much appreciated!
As you are using WordPress you can go and check it in the WordPress dashboard, pages section and check the unwanted pages that are ranking in the Search Engine is there or not. If it is there and unwanted then move it to trash. Generate a new sitemap and post it in the Google Search Console.
If the unwanted 404 pages are not on your WordPress dashboard pages section then just copy the link from the search engine, go to Google Search Console and add it to removals. Google will remove that in few days.
Another problem mentioned by you is that several (main) pages on your site are not getting indexed as showing in the search console screengrab.
Kindly note that sometimes it is a false positive. To check if the links that are showing as not indexed are false positive or not. Simply copy the link and in google search, search it like site: "your link". For example: https://elesztohaz.hu/ is the first link that is shown in screenshort as not indexed.
In Google Search, search it like- site:https://elesztohaz.hu/
If you are getting the result it is indexed and just a false positive.
On Bing & Yahoo our link is showing up on the first page, but I am having issues with it showing up on google search. Here are additional details:
The term is the title of the wordpress blog & it has been officially registered with the USPTO.
The site has been active since Jan 17,2016, so far we have 8 posts on it and we want to continue to post fun/relevant posts on the blog.
Thought a trademark association would be in Google Webmaster Tools, but it isn't there.
I looked at Ad Words and saw that it isn't a commonly searched term at all, so figured our blog would come up on the first page.
Been trying different SEO plugins & methods to improve the search for the term, but nothing seems to be working.
This seems to be a very odd issue. I been looking everywhere to figure this one out, but haven't found anything, and I am not sure who to turn to for help. Please help!
SEO is a tricky one,
but it works like this
Meta Description is number one (paste your url I can have a look at the code)
Meta Title (page Title)
Length the domain has been online
Number of crosslinks
Sitemap submission to google (then fetch url )
Make sure your robot.txt is not denying search engines
Make sure your website has content.

SEO is a slow and steady process; naturally it will take time to achieve the top position in search result.
Things you should do;
1) Add meta title and description to each page based on the keywords
2) Include keywords in URL of the page
3) Create a webmaster tool and use fetch page option to get listed in search engines (Example: Google webmaster is must needed)
4) Create brand pages in social media sites and interlink with website
5) submit your website to dmoz.org

I have tried to rectify this by searching the powered by ... in my root directory but im unable to find it. please help me on this.
These are your meta descriptions as shown by Google on search results.
You have three things going on:
You are not waiting for Google to pick up your changes. If you Google the name of your site, you will see that MANY of the changes to your meta descriptions are picked up.
The ones you have indicated in your screenshot are tag archives. You have to specifically set those up. In SEO by Yoast, you do it by: Log into your dashboard, go to "SEO" then "Titles & Meta", then click the "Taxonomies" tab, find the "Tags" section, and set the meta descriptions there.
Your site has likely been hacked. See those links for anime? And see this screenshot (Google your domain "wadeguh.com" and see what comes up):
How to fix this?
1. Clean up your hack.
2. Set up the Tag meta descriptions in Yoast.
3. Wait for Google to crawl again.
i have an odd request from someone to help them NOT have their site listed multiple times in google search results.
this is the query:
http://www.google.com/search?q=colwell+shelor
in bing and yahoo, it works as they desire, just the index page. but on google, i am getting each page listed separately.
does anyone have any insight as to what i could do to change this?
their site is a mix of wordpress and custom php with some of the meta and titles generated differently, but i am not sure that matters.
thanks...
Actually, that is a very good thing to get multiple listing on Google. People paid SEO optimizer to dominate all spots.
In order to prevent that you can make a robots.txt and stop google bot from crawling particular links on your site. However, if that is too extreme then you have to register an account at Google Webmaster Tool in order to change how your site will display on search engine.
