Image Showing up in Google Search Results

[vaughanmatt]

I can’t figure out how to get an image from my page to show on google search results. I can see other worpress sites that have this happening and even though I have a featured image selected it won’t show up. Is there an issue with the schema or something else I need to do? An example of what I mean can be found in the attached image.

No I don’t want to remove it I want it to be shown in search results. My website in the example above is kloosterfamilydentistry.com and does not have an image even though I have selected a featured image for the main page.

Hi @vaughanmatt,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I checked the site and you are using Yoast Seo plugin. Please follow these article to show in google search results. https://yoast.com/yoast-seo-12-4/.

Hope it helps you.
Thanks

Hi -

We have done this and this has been set up for quite some time so I was wondering if there was an issue with the theme or something we needed to do to make sure the image was appearing. As you can see we have it set up within Yoast correctly

Hey @vaughanmatt,

Please try disabling our theme’s Open Graph option in Theme Options > Social.

If that doesn’t help, the issue you’re experiencing is not a theme issue as the Open Graph feature is the only setting that has a relation to showing images in social sites and possibly, search engines.

Hope that helps.
