Questions about putting 2-3 keywords in title tag.
-
Hi there,
what is the best way to decide the keywords to be used in title tag?
-
Para nosotros no hay duda: cada título debe ser único y potenciar una única palabra clave. Sin embargo, la originalidad del SEO que optimiza el contenido se encuentra en la capacidad de incluir términos relacionados que compongan diferentes palabras claves que permitan abarcar lo que denominamos la "concordancia amplia" de términos.
Por ejemplo, nosotros establecemos en las fichas de productos "Palabra Clave + Precio (en euros) + [Precio 2023]. Esto nos permite abarcar palabras claves como esta:
Whill Model C2
Optimizar la ficha de esta forma nos permite abarcar las siguientes palabras claves:- Silla Whill Model C2
- Silla Whill Model C2 precio
- Precio 2023 whill model c2
- Mejor precio whill model c2 2023
Interesante debate, espero que te aporten mi planteamiento.

The short answer is: simply use the keywords with the highest volume. But there can be many pitfalls and details which can affect the CTR on the SERP. I love this guide where they tell about them with examples: https://rush-analytics.com/blog/title-of-a-website-optimize-like-a-pro

Identify main topics: Let's say your page is about yoga. Your main topics could be "yoga for beginners" and "yoga poses."
Use keyword research: Using a tool like Google Keyword Planner, you might find that "yoga for flexibility" and "yoga for stress relief" are popular related keywords.
Choose relevant and specific keywords: For a title tag, you might choose "Yoga for Beginners: Poses for Flexibility and Stress Relief" to accurately describe your content.
Keep your title tag short: The example title tag is 58 characters, which is within the recommended 60-character limit.
Avoid keyword stuffing: Don't try to cram too many keywords into your title tag. Instead, use them in a way that accurately describes your content and helps potential visitors find your page.

Optimizing your title tags is one of the easiest ways to help improve your rankings on Google. They signal to Google what your page is about. Keep titles around 60 characters.
Avoid typing your title in all caps. Uppercase letters take up extra space and could cause your title to get cut off.
Remove your brand name unless it’s necessary
Use symbols to save space (i.e., “&” instead of “and”)Stuffing lots of keywords into a single page title can hurt that page's rankings. And it can also confuse users, making them less likely to click through to your page.
Keep the title tag readable and simple. There are some websites showing title tag score and seo score . You may use those services. Some are free too.
Hope this helps,
Thanks, Yoglica -
The title tag is an important part of SEO, and including 2-3 keywords in the title tag can help your website rank higher in search engine results. It is important to make sure that the keywords you choose are relevant to the content of the page, and that they are used in a natural way that makes sense to readers. Additionally, it is important to keep the title tag concise and to the point, as search engines may truncate titles that are too long.

@lucybish said in Questions about putting 2-3 keywords in title tag.:
what is the best way to decide the keywords to be used in title tag?
When deciding on keywords to use in the title tag, it's important to consider the relevance and search volume of the keywords. The title tag is one of the most important on-page SEO factors, as it tells search engines and users what the page is about. Therefore, it's important to include keywords that accurately and effectively describe the content of the page. Additionally, it's also a good idea to consider the competition for the keywords and target long-tail keywords that are less competitive. Finally, it's important to make sure that the title tag is compelling and will entice users to click on the link.

What is the importance of exact match keywords for local SEO in service industry businesses?
I am working with a local service contractor. Several of his competitors have domain names with exact match keywords. Audits of competitor sites and use of other research tools reveals that their sites are behind in content and technical SEO. The competitor sites consistently rank higher in organic search results. I am new to SEO and I understand that some of my lack of clarity here is a result of not understanding the value of key word use in local SEO vs. wider efforts.

SERP Title Display Issue
When doing a google search for "Wedding Invitations Toronto", you will find my site www.stephita.com shows up in top 5 results. I'm trying the figure out why the TITLE of the page no longer shows up in the SERP. Only the domain shows up above the link to the page. So you basically see www.stephita.com twice, when the first instance should be the "title" drawing from the HTML code. I did implement the JSON code to provide proper site data structure as well. Could someone check my source, and tell me if I'm missing something, or if I put TOO MUCH stuff there? Thank You!!!!

Value of using spaces or no spaces on product category page varient keywords
Hello, all fellow Mozzers,
On-Page Optimization | | JamesDavison
I have taken over a project and this account, so can't change the username according to MOZ.🙃 We run an eCommerce website, and to me, some of the content is conflicting as some pages have more information content than what I would put in a commerce page, but this is how the boss wants it to work, personally, I would separate the content out.
The page I'm working on:
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/205-70-14.html
and this is an example of the rest of these types of pages, I will be tackling:
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/125-15.html I was tasked to improve SEO ranking, when using the MOZ page grader I had a score of 24 out of 27 83% SEO score and 3-page problems. 7th position in Google for the search term 205/70 R14 As it is a generic product listing page, It was pointless to add to the URL and the Internal links I can't reduce as these are links to products, so I went to reduce the
keyword stuffing and making the page content more natural, this improved the page to 25 out of 27, 87% SEO score and 2-page problems. Improvement to 3rd position in Google, but he wants to chase 1st place to be above his competitors, which is fair enough. It turns out that in the past, they have used this type of page to try and get a high ranking for several search terms, as it is a different variation on a tyre size terms are:
205/70 R14, 205/70R14, 205/70 R 14
205/70 X 14, 205/70X14, 205/70 X14
and so on for all the different ways you can search for this tyre size. He is also convinced Google will see these as different search terms, and while I agree to an extent, this causes Keyword Stuffing on the page, which in turn was harming the rankings. Each product listed on the page already has its own title 205/70 R14, 205/70 HR14 and so on, so my question is. What is the best practice for writing content on these types of pages to gain high rankings for several Keywords, and what value does writing the same keyword with spaces and no spaces have? Any help or advice is welcome, so I have a better understanding of how to approach this for this page and the rest of the site. Cheers Mal0 -
How to Incorporate Awkward Keyword Phrases
Certain keywords are good choices for my website (high CTR, low difficulty, high volume), but they would be very awkward to use in my website content. For example, "therapist near me" is a popular search term, but it would be very strange for me to use those words in that order in my content (I am a therapist). Any thoughts about this are welcome.

Are non-breaking spaces ( ) in keyword phrases bad for ranking
Hello all, I came across a tip for avoiding text orphans in responsive design by putting a non-breaking space between the last two words. While this works nicely, I was wondering if I did this inside of a keyword phrase, would it still rank equally as well? Or will it be viewed as separate phrases or terms? Thanks, Roman

Bing Indexation and handling of X-ROBOTS tag or AngularJS
Hi MozCommunity, I have been tearing my hair out trying to figure out why BING wont index a test site we're running. We're in the midst of upgrading one of our sites from archaic technology and infrastructure to a fully responsive version.
Web Design | | AU-SEO
This new site is a fully AngularJS driven site. There's currently over 2 million pages and as we're developing the new site in the backend, we would like to test out the tech with Google and Bing. We're looking at a pre-render option to be able to create static HTML snapshots of the pages that we care about the most and will be available on the sitemap.xml.gz However, with 3 completely static HTML control pages established, where we had a page with no robots metatag on the page, one with the robots NOINDEX metatag in the head section and one with a dynamic header (X-ROBOTS meta) on a third page with the NOINDEX directive as well. We expected the one without the meta tag to at least get indexed along with the homepage of the test site. In addition to those 3 control pages, we had 3 pages where we had an internal search results page with the dynamic NOINDEX header. A listing page with no such header and the homepage with no such header. With Google, the correct indexation occured with only 3 pages being indexed, being the homepage, the listing page and the control page without the metatag. However, with BING, there's nothing. No page indexed at all. Not even the flat static HTML page without any robots directive. I have a valid sitemap.xml file and a robots.txt directive open to all engines across all pages yet, nothing. I used the fetch as Bingbot tool, the SEO analyzer Tool and the Preview Page Tool within Bing Webmaster Tools, and they all show a preview of the requested pages. Including the ones with the dynamic header asking it not to index those pages. I'm stumped. I don't know what to do next to understand if BING can accurately process dynamic headers or AngularJS content. Upon checking BWT, there's definitely been crawl activity since it marked against the XML sitemap as successful and put a 4 next to the number of crawled pages. Still no result when running a site: command though. Google responded perfectly and understood exactly which pages to index and crawl. Anyone else used dynamic headers or AngularJS that might be able to chime in perhaps with running similar tests? Thanks in advance for your assistance....0 -
Yoast focus keywords for portfolio post types in WordPress
This one is for the WordPress optimization crowd! Portfolios are used to display work. I have a question about best seo optimization techniques. 1. Portfolios can be used to display many different types of work, for me it either original web designs from scratch, WordPress redesigns, or importing a current website into WordPress. What is the best practice for keywords for multiple portfolios that are in one category. for instance WordPress Redesign. If I have 5 WordPress redesign portfolio posts is it good practice to use WordPress redesign for all 5 portfolios or should they use variations? Yoast gets angry when the same focus keyword is used multiple times. 2. Should portfolios even be indexed? Since this is how I attract new customers I would think yes but am I giving too much exposure to my client and not enough to my business. I guess this will depend on titles and meta descriptions. A discussion on best practices here is what I am really looking for. What is your advice and opinion on the matter.

Should i not use hyphens in web page titles? Google Penalty for hyphens?
all the page titles in my site have hyphens between the words like this: http://texas.com/texas-plumbers.html I have seen tests where hyphenated domain names ranked lower than non hyphenated domain names. Does this mean my pages are being penalized for hyphens or is this only in the domain that it is penalized? If I create new pages should I not use hyphens in the page titles when there are two or more words in the title? If I changed all my page titles to eliminate the hyphens, I would lose all my rankings correct? My site is 12 years old and if I changed all these titles I'm guessing that each page would be thrown in the google sandbox for several months, is this true? Thanks mozzers!
