How to write a page title

The title is the blue headline in search results and the single strongest on-page SEO signal.

Why it matters

The title is what people see first in search results, browser tabs and bookmarks. A missing or generic title ("Home") makes the page hard to find and easy to skip.

Steps

  1. Put the main topic first, then your brand.
  2. Keep it between 30 and 60 characters.
  3. Give every page its own title.

For your developer

<title>Main topic | Your brand</title>

Check it worked

Look at the browser tab. It should show your new title. Rescan to confirm every page has a unique one.
