Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your question about SEO titles.
It is completely normal for Google to include your brand name in the title automatically, even if you deliberately leave it out from your titles. This is done based on various factors, including keyword intent and other signals that Google uses to determine the title that will be shown to users.
If you wish to know more about Google’s guidelines on writing good titles, you can refer to the guidelines provided by Google here.
Please note that regardless of the SEO plugin you use, Google might append your brand name to the title for some keyword searches, and there is nothing you can do to force them to do otherwise.
I hope this information helps. Please feel free to let us know if you need further assistance with anything else.
