Multiple Cities in Title Tag
-
My question is how to avoid having a spammy title.
Currently I'm working on a project where a business serves four cities, but two of them are out of its home state. I'm trying to create a title tag that is appealing to the eyes, and meets what I need it to do at the same time.
I was wondering what everyone though of this sample
Brand X Dealer Serving Newark, DE; New Castle, DE; Glens Mills, PA; and Springfield, PA
I know that too much repetition can be a bad thing, but this might not be a big deal since they are separate instances.
Let me know what you all think.
Thanks!

Hi OOMDO,
I'd like to clarify - does the business actually have 4 physical offices (1 in each of those cities) or does it have a single office, or maybe two offices, serving 4 cities?
If the business has 4 offices, then I think Dave's advice is quite good.
However, if the business is more of an SAB (service area business) with only one or two physical offices, then the location cities should be what is in the title tag of, say, the homepage, while the location-less service cities could be excellent candidates for city landing pages.

I'd create a page on the site for each city if the business has its own physical address in each city (its own building). Then create a title tag specifically for that city.
If that's not possible, I think you're Title tag works. I'd move the brand to the end though (unless it's a REALLY well know brand).

Does Google penalize you for reindexing multiple URLS?
Hello, Just a quick, question! I was wanting to know if multiple page indexing (site overhaul) could cause a drop in organic traffic ranking or be penalized by Google for submitting multiple pages at one time. Thanks

SVG image files causing multiple title tags on page - SEO issue?
Does anyone have any experience with SVG image files and on-page SEO? A client is using them and it seems they use the title tag in the same way a regular image (JPG/PNG) would use an image ALT tag. I'm concerned that search engines will see the multiple title tags on the page and that this will cause SEO issues. Regular crawlers like Moz flag it as a second title tag, however it's outside the header and in a SVG wrap so the crawlers really should understand that this is a SVG title rather than a second page title. But is this the case? If anyone has experience with this, I'd love to hear about it.

Should I add canonical tag on these pages?
Hi folks I have some pages that used to rank pretty well..but I believe it is affected due to the content similarities. Here is one the sub category pages http://www.ilovebodykits.com/category/98/2/Full-Body-Kits_Duraflex.html the main category page http://www.ilovebodykits.com/category/98/Exterior_Body-Styling_Full-Body-Kits.html These 2 links have very similar contents. The content are dynamic generated by template and I don't think I am able to change content for each individual pages since there are over 2000-3000 of them or more. Should I use canonical tag on the Duraflex.html page to give the main category page all the link juices and credits? There are about 20 other pages like this under this main category. Is it right to canonical all of them? Please let me know if anyone has any suggestion.. thanks

Title Tags: Does having the singular and plural version of the keyword hurt the ranking?
I'm wondering if there is a duplication issue with having a singular AND plural version of a keyword in the Title Tag. For example: Wood Desk - Wood Desks| Furniture Store Would this help or hurt my ranking for this URL? I can’t find a concrete answer for this under Moz’s “Title Tag SEO Best Practices Page.” Thanks for your help!

Finding unique title tags for each media coverage page
We have multiple pages for our media coverage, and each page has the same title tag. I know it's important to have unique title tags, but if each page is just a listing of your media coverage (page 1 of 9, page 2 of 9, etc) then how do you create unique title tags for each media coverage page?
