Titles show up in search engines as the “name” of the page. They also display in browser tabs and on site maps.

Practical Tips for Titles

  • Use keywords that you expect people to search for
  • Describe what type of content is on the page
  • Make similar to the page’s H1 if possible
  • Keep it short — aim for between 30–60 characters
  • Use unique titles for every page on your site
  • Write a title that makes sense on its own
