Anyone ever figure how how to prevent Google from putting your brand name at the end of your title in the serp?

When I search for something that I know will show my site, it shows the title and brand. Something like

How to Do Awesome Thing - The How To Site

Google has been rewriting serps like this for awhile. I've double checked my source code and the title and meta title doesn't have the brand name.

Normally I wouldn't be too concerned. But I've been trying exact match domains (EMD) again and when every page has the main keyword in the serp title, it makes it harder for home page to rank for it.

Has anyone figured how to prevent this? Maybe not include organization schema on the site or something?

Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
