If you want to see ALL the page titles and meta descriptions on a competitors website Screaming Frogs SEO Spider is awesome. It can downloaded free here http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/ Note for large sites you may need the paid version.

This is one of the easiest things you can check. The other posts gave some great examples of how - it's just a matter of if you want to check one page at a time or a collection all at once.

Hi Arie,
To manually check:
Go to your browser and check the page source. This can usually be fond under View > Developer> Page source. You will then need to sift thru the code to find the titles and descriptions.
Or:
There are tools you can add to your browser which will pull the data for you. If you install the SEOmoz toolbar it will give you all the Meta data for whichever page you are on.
Hope this helps.

I use a IBP Software with a Optimization tool, you can write the urls of your competitors and run the tool and after two minutes you have a report with many informations including meta title and meta description

Hi Arie,
There are a few ways you can do this, firstly the titles are displayed for each page in the tabs in your browser.
Alternatively SEOmoz tool bar has a "Page Elements" section which gives you lots of page information including the title and meta description : http://www.seomoz.org/seo-toolbar
Depending on your browser you can also right click anywhere on the page and click "View Source". Then look in the section for the meta data.
Hope this helps.

H1 tag Audit & Image Alt Tag Audit Tools
Hi Mozzers, Anyone know of a good FREE tool that has no limits to use to scrape my site for H1 tags & image alt tags by page? Ideally it would produce a report with a list of page URLs, corresponding H1 tags and each image alt tag on each page. Anyone? Bueller?

Are there any free (or paid) tools available online that download Meta Tags for ALL URL's of a website?
Hi, I am looking to run an On-Site audit for a website and I'm wondering if there are any tools available online that take the existing Meta Tags on ALL pages of a website and downloads them to a .CSV or .XLS. Would need Meta Title and Meta Description for all pages at the very least. Any suggestions are appreciated - looking for Free or Paid options. Thanks.

Crawl report shows Title Element too long but they aren't
Hi, My latest crawl report says that I have a stack of pages with Title Element Too Long on them - e.g. Build My Ride - charity team building event with real purposeBuild My Ride - charity team building event with real purpose http://www.teamelevate.co.nz/events/build-my-ride1.html You can see that it shows the title element as doubled-up. When I look at the title element on the live page it is not double. GWT shows that there are no issues with long title elements. Any ideas anyone...? Chris

Something I'm missing META Description
When using the SEOMoz on page analysis for "luxury marquee hire" on www.katalysticevents.com it's telling me I have no meta description but my source code includes the following: Line 94 <meta property="<a class="attribute-value">og:description</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">Katalystic Events - Luxury Marquee Hire</a>" /> Being a real newbie am I missing something here? I've included the info uploaded form my wordpress CMS, why is SEOmoz not picking this meta description up?

Www, non www, 301 redirects, Google webmaster tools & SeomozPro
arg! Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated! This is in regards to sheffieldfurniture .com In October of 2011 I had our host set up a redirect for our site so all non www requests would be redirected to the www version and it works great (so it seems at least) Recently I signed up for SEOMOZPRO and when I started trying to track my organic results for various keywords I realized that Google has my site indexed in the non www format. Is this a problem? I’ve read you can tell google what your preferred domain is in Google Webmaster Tools, is that what I should be doing? Are there any negatives to doing that? I’m just confused as to why Google hasn’t noticed or acknowledged the redirect in 4 months. It makes me wonder if something isn’t working properly? I have since added a second SEOMOZPRO campaign with the non www version but I’m worried about having historical tracking issues if I then tell google to use the www version…

I got a long list of URLs indicating Content that is identical (or nearly identical) to content on other pages of your site forces your pages to unnecessarily compete with each other for rankings. But as I gone through none of the reported pages duplicate. What should I do? Thanks in Advance
