Bear in mind Patrick, you need to be careful with keyword cannibalisation with titling inner pages like this.
If many of your pages have 'City Web Design' in the title there could be conflict with the page that you are targeting that term for (usually the home page). I would avoid this myself on pages such as About Us, Contact, News, Blog, etc. and probably just something like use:
- About Us | Company Name

Hi JBNorthAM,
In terms of SEO for on-page tagging, you can approach it a number of ways, but we like to take a simple approach on this. Do your keyword research if you wish to target a keyword on those given pages and then get creative. *Remember, to also hit your Meta Description as well for this and make sure that if you do target a keyword in the Title, that it is referenced in the page content itself like H tags, paragraph text, alt image tag, hyperlink to another page or blog article or website, etc...
Not sure what industry you are talking about, but let's take a Web Design company in a City for example. You could try this:
- About Us = About Our City Web Design Firm | Company Name
- Investor Relations (not sure you'd optimize this page, but could be) = Investor Relations Info for Our Web Design Company
- Careers = City Web Design Career Opportunities | Company Name
- News & Events = City Web Design News & Events | Company Name
Again, these are just ideas yet something to consider as there are a number of strategies to rework and make them more interesting for the searchers seeing the Title in the SERPs. Make them attractive, creative, meaningful and it should help get their attention and, ultimately, their click.
Hope this was helpful! - Patrick

How does Google treat special characters in titles?
Seems like a stupid question, but one that I never really gave much thought about before. How exactly does Google treat special characters in titles? Do they all get seen as spaces? e.g. Does Awesome Product - OptionA/OptionB/OptionC available get seen the same way as **Awesome Product - OptionA, OptionB, **OptionC available ? Or even **Awesome Product - OptionA OptionB **OptionC available ? Or will Google see the first title as **OptionA/OptionB/OptionC **being a whole "keyword" due to there being no space between them? Like I've always just assumed that with apostrophised words will be seen as keyword s. And when using commas, there's always a space after the comma anyway. Are all "special characters" treated the same?

How do I find out what low-volume keywords are best to target?
Since many of our products and services are purpose-built for a niche community, I find that many of the keywords I am researching are all low-volume. Data on the Keyword Difficulty Tool show '0' under Bing Search Volume (exact match). I know what my competitors are targeting based on their title tags and web content, but I'm not sure if they did their keyword research homework, so I don't want to assume. Is there any other way to determine which keywords I should be targeting?

Best tool for drawing sitemaps?
Drawing up sitemaps is one of those tasks that seems to take me twice as long to do electronically that it does on paper. Unfortunately, sitemaps scribbled on sheets of A4 paper aren't much good for sending and sharing. So, Mozzers, what tool or software do you recommend for drawing up sitemaps quickly and easily? So far I've tried using Visio, Excel and Word but if there's a dedicated tool out there, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance, Cheers

Best Keyword Research Tool / Strategy / Approach?
Currently, I list every root word (one word) I can think of for the client. Then start a 2 word keyword section, making every possible connection with my root words. Then move to 3 word, 4 word, and so on. I do this all in a word document and by hand. Does anybody have ANYTHING (tool/strategy) that does something similar? I'm looking for anything that can expedite this process. My manual method makes me feel like I'm always forgetting certain combinations of words.

Is the all in title technique helpful?
I watched a tutorial on lynda.com about keyword research. And they said to use the All In Tittle trick to see how many pages on google are optimized for that keyword - do you reccommend using that method as well? In google, you type allintitle:"key word phrase" and the results show how many page titles are optimized for that phrase. Should I use this technique as well when choosing keywords?
