Your search appearance directly impacts click-through rates. Even without changing rankings, a compelling title and description can significantly increase traffic to your pages.

Title Tag Best Practices

• Front-load keywords: Put your primary keyword near the beginning of the title.
• Include brand: Add your brand name at the end, separated by a pipe (|) or dash (-).
• Be specific: Specific titles outperform generic ones. Use numbers and dates when relevant.
• Match intent: Your title should match what searchers expect to find.
• Avoid clickbait: Misleading titles lead to high bounce rates and hurt rankings.

Meta Description Tips

• Include target keywords: Matching keywords appear bold in results.
• Add a call-to-action: Tell users what to do: "Learn more," "Get started," "Discover."
• Highlight unique value: What makes your page worth clicking?
• Use active voice: Active voice is more engaging than passive.
• Don't duplicate: Each page needs a unique meta description.

Why Google May Rewrite Your Snippet

Google doesn't always use your exact title and description. It may rewrite them when:

• Your title is too long, short, or keyword-stuffed
• The meta description doesn't match the search query
• On-page content better answers the query
• Your site has a well-known brand name

Testing Your Snippets

• Check multiple devices: Preview on both desktop and mobile.
• Test with keywords: See how your snippet looks when keywords are bolded.
• Monitor CTR in Search Console: Track click-through rates and A/B test titles.
• Review competitors: See how your snippets compare to ranking competitors.
