Title Tags

The clickable headline search engines show for your page in results.

What it means

A title tag is the piece of code that defines the headline shown for your page in search results and in a browser tab. It's one of the clearest signals search engines use to understand what a page is about, and it's the first thing a searcher actually reads.

Why it matters

A vague or duplicated title tag across multiple pages makes it harder for search engines to tell your pages apart, and harder for a searcher scanning results to know why they should click yours. It's one of the highest-leverage, cheapest things to fix on a page.
