    Dear Support,

    I was setup the title post only use this %title%
    but on SERP/Google indexed title appears like this -> Title – Site Name
    or this is like a default setting %title% %sep% %sitename%

    What am i doing wrong with the RankMath setting?
    Unfortunately i unable submit the screenshoot on this.

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Thank you

    Hello Wahyu,

    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.

    I see for meta descriptions too, sometimes this doesn’t match with my settings in RankMath. Some posts Google take descriptions from the first paragraph of the article and ignore my RankMath description setting.

    Thank you for your reply, anyway. It’s really helpful.
