Title Tag Length: What Ranks and What Gets Truncated

Titles under 10 characters waste the most valuable pixels on the SERP; over ~70 and Google truncates your message mid-thought. The title is your ranking token and your click-bait in one string.

How to fix it

  1. Keep titles between 10 and 70 characters.
  2. Front-load the keyword; brand or site name goes last.
  3. One title per page inside a single <title> element in head.
  4. Match title to H1 intent — a mismatch reads as doorway behavior.
