How Google selects it?

It usually uses the name defined from the Website schema in JSON (automatically added by SEOPress). If not available it can use the og:site_name, <title> tag, headings (<h1>, <h2>…) or any relevant text in the page.

Edit manually the site name

To edit this site name, go to your WordPress admin, SEO, Titles and metas, Home tab.

Then enter your custom site name in the alternative site title field.
