For search engines and social platforms it\u2019s important that you write descriptive and engaging Title tags, based on the main focus keyword(s) of your page. Title tags are displayed as the clickable headline on the search engine results page after performing a search query.<\/p>\n<h2>How do search engines use Title tags?<\/h2>\n<p>Search engines use the Title tag as one of the most important on-page SEO ranking factors to determine the subject of a page. When a web page is considered relevant and authoritative enough for a specific query, search engines will display the Title tag of your page on the search results page (SERP).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2888\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SEO-Title-tag-example-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"885\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SEO-Title-tag-example-2.png 885w, https:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SEO-Title-tag-example-2-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SEO-Title-tag-example-2-768x222.png 768w, https:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SEO-Title-tag-example-2-50x14.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Make sure you write relevant and engaging Titles to get the attention from potential visitors and maximize the Click Trough Ratio from the search engine results page.<\/p>\n<h2>Title tag length<\/h2>\n<p>Google uses a maximum width to determine when they will cut off a title tag. This number is not the same for mobile and desktop results, because they have simply more room when displaying a desktop search results page. To be sure your Title tag will be displayed completely it\u2019s recommended to use a maximum of 60 characters (punctuation included).<\/p>\n<h2>Code Example:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Page source: <code>&lt;title&gt;Relevant page title&lt;\/title&gt;<\/code><\/p>\n<h2>How to write a SEO optimized Title tag?<\/h2>\n<h3>Title tag content advice:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"positive\">\n<li>Title tags need to match search intent:\n<ul>\n<li>An informative page about running shoes: <em>Nike Running Shoes: the Definitive Guide 2017 | Running Shoes Guru<\/em><\/li>\n<li>A commercial page about running shoes: <em>Best Sellers Running Shoes.

Google doesn\u2019t appreciate needles keyword repetition. Because keyword stuffing doesn\u2019t improve user experience and looks spammy.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid duplicate Title tags. In most cases when Google is confronted with page using the same Title from the same domain, they will only display the best result. In this case it\u2019s advised to shift your keyword focus and adjust your content and Title tag accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid non-descriptive Title tags. If the Title tag doesn\u2019t match the page content Google won\u2019t rank your page as well as it potentially could and users are far less likely to click on your result because the heading doesn\u2019t match their search query and intent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Related tools:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"explanation\">\n<li>Automatically create SEO optimized Title tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/title-tag-generator\/\">https:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/title-tag-generator\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/bulk-title-tag-checker\/\">Bulk Title tag checker<\/a> &#8211; Use this tool to check the Title tag for multiple pages.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/content-analysis\/\">SEO Content editor<\/a> &#8211; The SEO Content tool helps you to SEO optimize your content, so you can focus on writing creative content.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/seo-keyword-suggestion-tool\/\">SEO Keyword suggestion Tool<\/a> &#8211; Get keyword suggestions from Google based on your target language.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/keyword-density-checker\/\">Keyword density Checker<\/a> &#8211; See how frequent keywords are used<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seoreviewtools.com\/free-keyword-search-volume-checker\/\">Keyword search volume tool<\/a> &#8211; Check the search volume for your country based on Google search statistics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>External resources:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"explanation\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/35624?hl=en#3\">Google Title tag advice <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is a Title Tag &amp; How to use it for SEO?
