SEO guys a question...

So this is happening to one of my mainstream websites. It's removing my page tile and putting in my URL: Domain Name - Page Title.

Here is what Google says:

If we?ve detected that a particular result has one of the above issues with its title, we may try to generate an improved title from anchors, on-page text, or other sources. However, sometimes even pages with well-formulated, concise, descriptive titles will end up with different titles in our search results to better indicate their relevance to the query. There?s a simple reason for this: the title tag as specified by a webmaster is limited to being static, fixed regardless of the query. Once we know the user?s query, we can often find alternative text from a page that better explains why that result is relevant. Using this alternative text as a title helps the user, and it also can help your site. Users are scanning for their query terms or other signs of relevance in the results, and a title that is tailored for the query can increase the chances that they will click through.

A: Is this hurting me in SERP? I believe it is.
B: Is there a way to remove this? Maybe, a 1st page makeover?
