Hi Everyone,
When you are reviewing the code of your webpages, look for the <title> tag. See what it says. And note the following suggestions for making it be all that it can be for both human users and search crawlers alike:

1. Use only one per page, placed within the <head> tag

2. Place top-performing keywords in descending order

3. Ensure site branding goes last

4. Use no more than 70 characters, including spaces

5. Avoid using stop words

6. Reflect the most important keywords used in the page’s body text

7. Keep it unique between pages

8. Avoid duplicating the exact text string within the <h1> tag text

9. Avoid keyword stuffing
