Google Keeps Referring to a Company's Old Name in Searches

About one year ago, a business changed its name. The site manager updated all of the online references to the company's old name with the new name. More than one year later, the business owner and website manager still see Google appending the old name onto search results. The website manager found the code and shared it with a web design community. The manager noted that there are no references to the old name anywhere on the page code. Even so, Google is still showing a result as something like "Page Title - New Company Name - Old Name." The web designer wanted to know if other site managers had seen this happen. They wanted to know if they were overlooking anything else that should be updated. They also added that they updated the domain registrar to the new name.

One person wrote back and suggested that the web designer make sure the company's name is changed in Google My Business. This person added that the original poster could also request a search console crawl from Google. Another person said that they needed a link to the site in order to help the original poster. They also wanted to know if this problem happens through Google My Business or organic searches.

Another person wondered if Google redirects the old company name to the new URL. The original poster replied with a statement that the URL stayed the same for this new company name. About five years ago, the website's owner redirected the five domains they owned into the domain that is currently being used.

Someone else wanted to know how long ago the name change was made. The original poster wrote back and said that the name change was about one year ago. At that time, all the coding was changed, and every page was checked. A different person asked whether it was a 301 or 302 redirect from Google. The original poster replied to say that the changes from five years ago were all 301s and they verified that all of the changes were accurate then and right now.
