Why It Matters

The title tag is the clickable headline in search results and one of the strongest on-page signals. Missing, duplicated, or generic titles ("Home", "Untitled") waste your best ranking and CTR opportunity.

How to Fix

Write a unique title per page

Lead with the primary keyword, keep it to ~60 characters, and append the brand. Never reuse the same title across pages.

Add the title element

Place exactly one <title> in the <head>.
