Hello,
We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with your website title settings. It seems like you’re trying to remove the site name from your titles, and despite following the instructions, you’re still seeing it in the search results.
It’s important to note that Google automatically adds brand names to titles, even if you deliberately leave them out from your titles. This is regardless of the SEO plugin you use. Here’s an article mentioning that as well: SEO Gold – Google Automatically Adds Brand Name to Titles
If you wish to know Google’s guidelines on writing good titles, here are the guidelines straight from the horse’s mouth: Google Webmasters – Writing Good Titles
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.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Is there no other option that forces Google to remove the site’s name from the title?
Hello,
You can verify the title using these tools as well:
https://heymeta.com
https://rankmath.com/tools/meta-tag-analyzer/
If the title/description you have set is already appearing correctly with those tools, then please note that Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and shows something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.
In this case, the best you can do is optimize your meta title and description to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.
Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
We checked your website and we can confirm Rank Math is not including the site name on your page titles.
However, it looks like Google last crawled and cached your pages on 31 Dec 2023. Please check the screenshot in the sensitive data section for reference.
In this case, we suggest you to wait a while until Google crawls your pages again and updates them on SERPs. Also, please keep in mind that nowadays, Google does that very commonly. Even when everything is fine, Google may choose to display a different meta title for your search query result. Google may skip the custom metadata you have set and instead display something from the page’s content that better matches the search intent.
