**Q: How do I write better title tags for my pages?**
⚠️ Before you start: back up your site first.
What this fixes: Thin page titles miss the words customers search, so pages rank and get clicked less.
Steps:
1. List your most important pages: home, services, about, contact.
2. For each, write a short title (about 55–60 characters) leading with what you do, your town, then your business name — e.g. “Estate Planning Attorney in Charleston SC | Smith Law.”
3. In WordPress, open each page and paste the new title into the “SEO title” box (Rank Math or Yoast), or the theme’s title setting.
4. Save.
5. Open the page and check the browser tab shows your new title.
Tools you may need (free):
– Rank Math (https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/) or Yoast (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) — where titles are set.
Common mistakes to avoid:
– Titles longer than ~60 characters get cut off in results.
– Every page sharing the same title — each should be distinct.
