How to write optimized SEO titles for your website pages in Presence®

Best practices for writing page titles that rank in search and attract clicks.

Overview

Each page on your Presence® website has its own SEO title — the clickable headline that appears in search results. A well-written title improves your visibility in search, communicates what the page is about, and increases click-through rates.

What makes a good SEO title

• Keep it under 60 characters — longer titles get truncated in search results
• Lead with the most important keyword — search engines and users scan from left to right
• Include your location — for local search visibility, add the city or market you serve
• Add your brand name — typically at the end, separated by a pipe or dash
• Be specific, not generic — "Luxury Homes in Austin | Jane Smith" outperforms "Home" or "Welcome"

Common mistakes to avoid

• Too vague — "Home," "Welcome," or "Page 1" tell search engines nothing
• Keyword stuffing — cramming multiple keywords in makes titles unreadable and can hurt rankings
• Over 60 characters — titles get cut off in search results, hiding important information

FAQs

Does the SEO title affect my actual page content or headings?

No. The SEO title appears only in search results and browser tabs — it does not change the visible heading on your page. Your H1 heading and SEO title can be different.

Should every page have a unique SEO title?

Yes. Duplicate titles across pages confuse search engines about which page is most relevant. Each page should have a distinct title that accurately describes its specific content.
