    Hi when I search for pages on my site in google, titles showing in all results for my site successdegrees.com appear as follows:
    Non profit and private online colleges and ... - Success Degrees

    This is obscuring half of my title, which I understand is bad for SEO. Can you give me any advice on how to correct this so that entire title shoes in Google results?
    Thank You

    What are you using for SEO plugin? Genesis SEO, Yoast, or something else? Any SEO tool should have a setting to adjust this.

    I don't have any SEO plugin active on the site - used Yoast for awhile but deactivated it some time ago. I tried to figure out how to fix this with Genesis SEO settings but couldn't understand where to make the adjustment.
    Thanks

    On the Genesis SEO page, make sure "Add site name to <title> on inner pages?" is unchecked.

    Hi @inisheer, performance your website while you check it by using site:domain is normal. You have 218 url indexed.

    I checked your url and it has 55 characters an fully appeared on google.

    I disagree with your statement " ... - Success Degrees" is bad for SEO. Success Degrees is your brand and Google noticed it.

    You can make your website better by optimizing meta title and meta description. Several of your pages has a short description. You can improve your url so it looks easy to read and make it short.

    Sorry for my bad english spoken
