To change your site name in Google from your domain name to your desired website name in Webflow, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Google Search Console account. If you don't have an account, create one using your Google account credentials.
  2. Once you are logged in, click on the "Add Property" button and enter your website's URL, making sure to select the "URL prefix" option.
  3. Verify ownership of your website by selecting one of the verification methods provided by Google Search Console. The recommended method is to add a verification code to the header of your website.
  4. After successfully verifying ownership, go to the Search Console dashboard.
  5. Click on the name of the website you want to change in the "Property" dropdown menu.
  6. In the left-hand sidebar, click on "Settings" and then click on "General."
  7. Under the "General" section, look for the "Site Name" field and edit it to your desired website name.
  8. Save the changes.
  9. It may take some time for Google to update the name of your website in the search results. Be patient and monitor the changes using the Search Console dashboard.

Please note that changing your site name in Google will not change your domain name. It will only update how your website is displayed in the Google search results.
