Add a unique title tag to every page

30 min Impact: high Effort: medium ✓ Scan-verified — no manual checkbox

The title tag is the single most important on-page SEO element — it's what shows as the clickable headline in search results, what appears in the browser tab, and one of the strongest relevance signals Google uses to understand what a page is about.

The <title> is the single strongest on-page ranking signal and the headline searchers see in results. A missing, duplicate, or generic title forfeits your best chance to rank and be clicked.

How to fix it

1

Write a unique title for every page

Every page needs its own specific title — never reuse the same title across multiple pages.
2

Lead with the primary keyword or topic

Put the most important word or phrase near the front, where both users and search engines weight it most heavily.
3

Keep it under ~60 characters

Longer titles get truncated with "..." in search results — check the actual pixel width, since character count is an approximation.
4

Make it compelling, not just accurate

The title competes with 9 other results for a click — a title that's technically correct but generic loses to one that's specific and appealing.

Common mistakes

A default/generic title left over from your CMS template (like 'Home' or 'Page 1') on every page is one of the most common and highest-impact SEO mistakes — worth checking your actual live pages, not just assuming your template is filling this in.

How you'll know it's done

Every important page has a unique, keyword-relevant title under 60 characters.
