Force google not to include my site's name in my pages' title

Question

I know this kind of questions has been asked many times, and I know Google changes the title of the page according to the search query and page's content.

I read many articles about this topic, like this :

Review your page titles and snippets

But my problem is that I think my on-page SEO is pretty good, and my title tag is the exact thing that I want to users see in the Google search result page. But Google adds my site's name in the beginning of the title of results and as I said, I don't want it at all.

As I know, now (Aug 2014), there is no way to tell Google not to change the title of page in the results and show my exact title

Of course I wish there was something like :

<meta name='areYouSureYourTitleOk' value="Yes,Dont change it,I beg you" /> , but there isn't.

But there must be some way to do this, I mean maybe some changes in my title or meta tags, or even my contents can convince google that my title is the best title possible for the page.

So please help me on this, is there a way or not ?

Answer 1

Google has found that CTR(s) increase with site branding and because Google gauges user satisfaction through CTR, Google sees site branding as a positive thing for it's business. As part of the recent SERP redesign, Google made some changes that includes site branding for shorter title links as an effort to add value. I can understand the heartburn this causes! Unfortunately, the only way to control the title link is to tightly control the title length. Here is an answer that details some of this- ignore the post title:

Title in Google does not match <title> of document

All of this posts points I have experienced and experimented with. I happen to prefer the site branding, however, I originally objected to it. I can understand not wanting site branding and preferring the title to be shown as is. Afterall, you crafted them very carefully for performance. Unfortunately, Google sees fit to make this a moving target. I do not agree that this should happen. Titles should be used as given (in my opinion).
