Title Tag
The clickable headline for your page in search results.
The Tradie Take
Your title tag is the name of your business on the front of your workshop. It's the first thing people see. "Emergency Plumber Bondi - Call Now" tells people exactly what you do, where, and what to do next. "Welcome to our website" tells them nothing. Your title tag is prime real estate - use it wisely.
Definition
The title tag is an HTML element that specifies the title of a web page. It appears as the clickable headline in search results, and it's the most important on-page SEO factor. A good title tag includes your main keyword and a compelling reason to click. It should be 50-60 characters to avoid truncation in search results.
How It Works
- 1 The title tag is the first thing Google reads to understand your page
- 2 It appears as the blue clickable link in search results
- 3 Keywords in the title tag carry significant SEO weight
- 4 A compelling title improves click-through rates, which can boost rankings
Tips for Tradies
- Put your main keyword near the beginning of the title tag
- Include your location and a unique selling point
