  <p>This line is probably breaking your SEO title: <code>&lt;title&gt;{% if title is defined %}{{ title }} - {% endif %}{{ siteName }}&lt;/title&gt;</code> This is found inside the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> tags</p>

  Did you remove the standard title tag placed in the `_layout.html` file by craft?
  
  This line is probably breaking your SEO title: `<title>{% if title is defined %}{{ title }} - {% endif %}{{ siteName }}</title>` This is found inside the `<head>` tags
  
  If not you should navigate to SEO > Site Meta and take a look in the settings there. The only problem then is that you could only disable the site name being placed not the title. But I guess its the line of code you still have in your \_layout

  For anyone else in my situation who ends up here:
  
  I had already removed the standard `<title>` tag from my layout.
  
  I was trying to remove "Home - " from my Homepage title using the setting under:
  
  ```
  SEOmatic > Global SEO > SEO Title Source
  
  ```
  
  ...but I couldn't understand why this had no effect on the frontend.
  
  Eventually realised there is an individual setting for every section!
  
  ```
  SEOmatic > Content SEO > [Section Name] > SEO Title Source
  
  ```
  
  I just needed to change the Homepage section to use `Custom Text` and leave the box blank
