My Blog Title Is Duplicated In SEO

I'm trying to customize my blog post SEO title, and am running into an issue where the search results preview shows the title as duplicated–See the attached image.

I'm running the Basil template.

Any ideas why this is happening, and what I can do to fix this issue? I've tried adjusting the page/site structure to check that the page isn't duplicated, like (%p - %p)...but maybe I don't know the right place to check this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I know this is old but I'll post the answer here because I ran into the same problem today, stumbled upon this post and it was frustrating that I couldn't get an answer. Eventually I found the answer.

To fix this go to Marketing > SEO

On the bottom you have "SEO appearance" and then "SEO Title Format"

I had "%s Doodlio Studio" and that was repeating my website's name everywhere 

Once I removed "Doodlio Studio" the title started appearing correctly

Do this and check each tab for "Home/Pages/Items". Your problem should be fixed with this 🙂

I found the answer and wanted to post it here... I needed to update the 'Items' SEO under marketing to %i. Once I did that it took!
