What this is
A great title matches search intent, states value clearly, and stays within a readable length.
When titles improve, click-through rate often improves too — even before rankings move.
What ExplainMySEO checks
- Title length and truncation risk
- Uniqueness across pages
- Intent match (informational vs transactional)
- Clear value/benefit language
- Brand placement and consistency
Best practice
Focus on the pages that earn impressions and clicks first. Improvements on high-traffic pages compound.
Common issues we see
- Overly generic titles like “Home” or “Welcome”
- Duplicated titles across multiple pages
- Titles too long and truncated in SERPs
- Keyword stuffing that reduces clicks
- Mismatch between title and page content
How to fix it (practical steps)
- Write titles in the format: Topic + Benefit | Brand
- Keep titles roughly 50–60 characters where possible
- Make every important page title unique
- Align the title promise with the first visible section of the page
- Re-scan and refine based on click-through and impressions
Implementation order
Start with indexing/crawl issues, then metadata and internal linking, then content depth and enhancements like schema.
