TITLE TAG OPTIMIZATION
The title tag is the heading that appears in search results or in the browser tab.
Good to know:
💡 Experience shows that the title tag is the most important on-page ranking factor for Google.
💡 It is crucial in determining whether users click on a Google snippet or not.
The goals of optimization:
✔️ Cover the focus keyword
✔️ Cover many variations of the keyword (with the same search intent)
✔️ Maximize the click-through rate
As best practice, we recommend:
⭐ Include the focus keyword
⭐ Include keyword variations with the same intent
⭐ Keep the text length to 51-60 characters including spaces (or a maximum of 600 pixels)
⭐ Use parentheses instead of square brackets
⭐ Use the classic minus sign instead of the pipe ( | )
⭐ Use the same text as the H1 tag for the title tag, if possible
▬▬▬▬▬▬
META DESCRIPTION OPTIMIZATION
The meta description is the short description text below the title tag.
Good to know:
💡 The meta description isn't a Google ranking factor, but a well-written description improves the click-through rate. Optimizing it can still have a positive impact from an SEO perspective!
💡 The meta description is the teaser for the content. It's not the content itself!
💡 In many cases, Google generates its own meta description by paraphrasing the existing text.
Here, you'll find... One goal:
✔️ Maximize the click-through rate to get more traffic and better rankings
As best practice, we recommend:
⭐ Include the main keyword
⭐ Keep the meta description to 140-155 characters including spaces
⭐ Use HTML checkmarks
⭐ Use emojis, special characters, etc. sparingly so the meta description doesn't appear spammy
