How to write a meta title that works
Six quick rules for titles that rank and earn the click.
Keep it under ~600px
Google truncates desktop titles at roughly 600 pixels (about 50-60 characters). Stay under it so nothing gets cut.
Lead with the keyword
Put your primary keyword near the front - it carries more weight and survives any truncation.
End with your brand
Finish with your brand name after a separator, e.g. 'Service in City | Brand'.
Make every title unique
Duplicate titles confuse search engines and split relevance. Each page deserves its own.
Write for the click
Titles are an ad as much as a label. Lead with the benefit so people choose your result.
Check mobile too
Mobile shows titles differently. Preview both so your title reads well on every device.
