How to Write SEO Title Tags
Write unique, readable HTML title tags that earn clicks and match search intent — then verify them live with Sourcer.
The HTML <title> is still one of the strongest on-page signals and the main line people see in search results. Sourcer flags missing or poorly sized titles on every SEO Checker scan.
What good titles do
- Match the page’s primary intent in plain language
- Stay unique across your site (pair with a clear canonical URL)
- Fit roughly 50–60 characters for readable SERP display
- Avoid stuffing brand names at the start unless branding is the query
Quick checklist
- Write the topic first, then optional brand.
- Skip ALL CAPS and keyword spam.
- Align the title with your H1 without copying it verbatim.
- Re-scan after publishing — CMS plugins often override the tag you edited.
Next, tighten the snippet with a strong meta description, then confirm everything in the live HTML.
