SEO FAQ: Page Titles

Page Titles are arguably the most important elements of your website that you can optimize. In most cases, search engine results are greatly affected by what is in the page title. The page title itself is usually displayed in the search results as the “title” for the site listed, and can also be viewed in the top bar of your browser window.

For instance, the Page Title for this specific web page is, "SEO: Page Titles". This is also what you would see as a title when you click on this page in the search engines.

Note: If you're confused or can't decide on keywords to include in your Page Titles (or anything else really), you might be interested in Market Samurai. It presents you with the most profitable, highest traffic, lowest competition keywords in your niche. I've reviewed it on my SEO Resources page if you're interested in learning more about it.

2. Christopher Nelson wrote:: I would suggest having each Page Title different on every page. This way you are not watering down results for any one page. Sure, you can have the same business name and/or location on every Page Title, but the most important content should be first. Ideally, that will be that specific page's keywords or keyword phrases. Example:

Important Keyword Phrase | Your Location, YL | Company Name

"Important Keyword Phrase" should be different on every page in this example.

I hope that helps! Thanks for the question!
