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

Does combining keywords in the page title help or hurt you?
I am working on a site which sells elliptical equipment. I used Google Adwords to determine number of searches on the following keywords: Elliptical trainer – 3.,600 searches Elliptical machine – 14,800 searches Elliptical trainer machine - 22 searches I am currently optimizing “elliptical trainer” – but after seeing results above would also like to optimize “elliptical machine”. My question is: if I add “machine” to “elliptical trainer” will Google now only read “elliptical trainer machine” or will it read “elliptical machine” in addition to “elliptical trainer”. How do you know what word or “chunk” of words Google picks up?

Capitals in Title tags and meta descriptions and their effect on SEO
It often the case that a page of serps will show up very similar title tags eg Cheap Widgets | Widgetsrus.com format, written partly for humans and partly for SEO.. Although against Googles best practice and indeed a violation of their adwords policy would using in CAPS in title tags reduce ranking (whilst increasing visibility and CTR)?
