In my page title, I have my product name. Is it beneficial to also include another keyword like: Buy wedding dress online Australia: e..g. (page title) amelie wedding dress | buy wedding dress online Australia. Or is it better just using: Amelie wedding dress

Don't get too caught up in jamming keywords into your titles. Chances are your competitors are already doing this, so use the opportunity to stand out and grab the users' attention; give them a reason to click your result over the other ~9 on the page.
Page titles should be compelling so getting your keyword(s) in there is great, but try to avoid the clunk old [keyword] [keyword] page title style. Sometimes it makes sense and is about all you can really do but if you can avoid it, do so.
I don't agree that you need to have the word Australia in the title either, Google looks at plenty of factors to determine what country you're in so no need to take up those precious pixels in your title with a long, redundant word!
There are a couple of Whiteboard Fridays that cover this general topic which you might find helpful:
- Headline Writing and Title Tag SEO in a Clickbait World
- Keyword Targeting, Density, and Cannibalization
I'd give you an example of a strong title but I just realised how little I know about wedding dresses! Basically, it should be something like Amelie Wedding Dress - [Something compelling; what do they care about?].
Remember, don't talk about yourself or your product, talk about the benefits these customers care about. If they're sold online, ship fast and this is your strongest selling point, maybe something like Amelie Wedding Dresses - Easy Online Store, Shipped in 48hrs!

Hi,
IMO your title should be like this - amelie wedding dress/dresses (only one of them) |Buy Online Now
As I don't know your keyword list so I'm suggesting if keywords having Australia in it have significant search volume you can add '| Australia' at the end of the title otherwise not necessary to place 'Australia' in title.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi,
If you have a local business and you are serving only one country then it is always better to mention country in Title tag for users and SEs too.
For user experience it is better to put like amelie wedding dress Australia and you can add your brand name after your product name (for ex. amelie wedding dress Australia - Brand Name). And if you are asking for higher ranking in google then read the story what google guys think about title tag now a days. let me give you link https://www.seroundtable.com/google-title-tag-critical-21499.html

Is the URL Matching the Page Title Important?
Hello I have tried searching for an answer on this but I can't get a clear answer due to the results when searching for URL title. I have just launched our second Shopify site for one of our brands. My first site launched in 2014 but when I launched I didn't pay much heed to SEO for page titles, URLs, etc so have retrospectively fixed this over time. For my Shopify site just launching I want to get it as right as possible from the start (learning from mistakes). My question is regarding URLs and what my approach should be for better SEO. So, I have a page with a Title of Newton Leather Wallets, Purses, Card Holders & Glasses Cases and the URL is https://www.tumbleandhide.com/collections/newton-leather-wallets-card-holders It was my understanding that I should try and make the URL reflect the Page Title more accurately. The problem is that this takes the character count to 77. On other pages it can be in the 80s. Will the above link be better for SEO than say just https://www.tumbleandhide.com/collections/newton I am just wary of the URL's being too long as my Moz Site Crawl is returning a lot of URLs that are too long. Thanks in Advance.

How come canonicalized pages are showing in the Duplicate Titles report?
I am currently removing all duplicate titles from my site via title tag changes, 301's, and in some instances, canonical tags. I'm confused about why the Moz report spit out pages with duplicate titles that are canonicalized to other pages. Does Google actually consider these pages as having duplicate titles? Or is Roger Mozbot not intuitive enough to to disregard those pages?

Ecommerce: content on category pages
I have to optimize some online Shops and after Panda I really don't know what to think about thin content on product overview pages anymore... used to be that we could improve our rankings easily just by adding 1-2 sentences on such a page. This always worked for non-overly competitive terms. Now It feels like it doesn't work any longer, but I couldn't put my finger on it and I don't have the resources to test. Here's an example of what I mean: http://www.geschenkidee.ch/wandtattoos/aus_aller_welt.html

I would add max. 3 lines of text directly over the product thumbnails. What do you think? Is it worth adding some text on a product overview page or do I not even have to bother post-Panda?0 -
Page without content
Hey Everyone, I've started an SEO On Page analysis for a web site and I've found a lot of duplicate content and useless pages. What do I have to do? Delete this useless page, redirect or do canonical tag? If I have to delete what is the best way to do? Should I use GWT to delete? or just delete from the server? This URL for example: http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,0,1,13,0,0,aneis-evolved-boss-cock's.html [admin note: NSFW page} There is no content and it is duplicate in reference of this: http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,0,1,12,0,0,aneis-evolved-boss-cock's.html [admin note: NSFW page} and the correct page of the product is: http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,423,anel-peniano-evolved-boss-cock's-pleasure-rings-collar-white-reutilizavel-e-a-prova-d'agua-colecao-evolved.html [admin note: NSFW page} What is happening is that we have 8.000 pages like this. Useless and without any content. How do I proceed? Thanks!

Crawl error: duplicate title for home page
I'm seeing a duplicate title for the home page, both the static file name and the domain. like: http://domain.com

http://domain.com/index.cfm I know how to set this in Google Analytics but how would I make sure this isn't seen as an error? It's accounting for both a duplicate title and duplicate content. Thanks!0 -
Can I have a strong brand category page and a strong product page?
It seems Google base and other Comparison Shopping Engines like to see the brand in the product name. But, on my category page for that brand, website optimizer tells me including the brand name with each product is cannabilizes links. For example; I have a page for jewelerABC with 20 pieces of jewelry listed as well as original content about jewelerABC. I do not currently name these products as xyz by jewelerABC. This page comes up nicely in the serps. But in Google base The top listings for jewelry by jewelerABC seem to have every product named xyz by jewelerABC or JewelerABC xyzs. What is the best way to optimize.for both? Stephen
