    I want to remove the site name from appearing after the article title.

    In Rank Math I went to ‘titles and meta’
    Then to post and removed site name.

    This is all it says now ” %title% ”

    After I did all this, it still shows up in google serps.

    Thank you

    Did you do that? If you did it and it is not working for you, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Your title is properly set up in the page source and you can also use this tool for to check as well: https://www.heymeta.com/

    It appears Google has not seen the changes yet and is still showing a cached version. You can check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
    a. https://i.rankmath.com/9q6X0H
    b. https://i.rankmath.com/R8N0Uh

    For this you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info.

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you

    I have manually done a re-crawl. Waited almost a week and it’s still showing.

    This shouldn’t take this long. Could something else be over-riding it?

    Hi Bob,

    That’s completely normal for Google to include your brand name in the title’s automatically – even if you deliberately leave them out from your titles.
    ​
    ​Here’s an article mentioning that as well.
    ​
    ​https://seo-gold.com/marcus-lemonis-website-seo-review/google-automatically-adds-brand-name-to-titles/

    ​And a link to Google’s forums with replies from Experts saying that it is like that on purpose:
    https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/5328043?hl=en&msgid=5328043
    ​
    If you wish to know Google’s guidelines on writing Good titles, here are the guidelines straight from the horse’s mouth:
    ​https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35624?hl=en
    ​
    ​With that said, it largely depends on keyword intent too. For some keyword searches, your custom title might appear while for others – Google might append your brand name to the title and there is nothing you can do to force them to do otherwise. That is regardless of what SEO plugin you use.
    ​
    ​Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
