Title Tags for Medical Names
-
Hi Everyone! I just transitioned into SEO in the medical spectrum and have never come across such long names. In terms of recommendations for character counts in title tags, what would be the recommendation? Write until it gets truncated (which is current state)? Use the abbreviation? Try to ensure the "plain language" words appear towards the front? Any viewpoints would be appreciated!

@yaelslater There is no specific checklist. You just have to be relevant, informative, and write with the context. Google will understand easily the title of your page. Try to add more context with the first 65 characters and you can add more if it's required.
I hope this helps.

Hello @aabanks
Yes, I'm referring to page-wise descriptions that show up in SERPs. Also, it is crucial that the same are unique for every page along with the link titles for a website.

The meta description tag of a single page or single URL.
Kindly keep unique link titles and meta description tags for every URL on your site and map your keywords accordingly avoiding keyword cannibalization. (This happens when you target the same keyword for multiple pages)

@yaelslater For Page Title the recommendation is generally around 70 to 75 characters.
But if the keywords are important you should include them in the Meta Description Tag which can go up to 300 characters recommended by Moz.
Also, if the language is read from left to right for the website, it is advisable to keep the keyword starting from the left and you can include the abbreviation in brackets if the search volume is good enough.
Good Practice: Primary Keyword - Secondary Keyword - Short Site Name
It is fine if the primary keyword is big then you should truncate the secondary keyword from the title, hope this helps.

Meta tag question
Through research our competitors have created independent product codes like FT-5750 and are using it as an independent SKU#, when I search this product code they are the only search result. can we use their abbreviated SKU# in our meta tag or keywords to show up in the SERP? Thanks, Michelle & Blake

Title Tag & Ranking Improvement....
Hi I have a dilema that I could do with some help with please. I am working on a site and its home page is ranking on the second page of google position 2 (12) for a term such as [Portrait Photographer London] The title tag I am using for this homepage is "Portrait Photographer | Clients Brand Name" ( which does NOT include the word "photography / photographer") The reason why I used this term for the home page is eventually I would like to rank in the top 3 (I'm ambitious) for [Portrait Photographer] so I left out the location on the home page as I have an about us page where I have the title tag "Portrait Photographer London | Clients Brand Name" this is currently ranking on page 3 position 3 (33) for a term such as [London Portrait Photographer] I'm wondering if including the location would help move my client up any? So it would be: "Portrait Photographer London | Clients Brand Name" and the keyword I want move up for is [Portrait Photographer London] Hope this makes sense

Advanced Domain Name Search Service
Hi guys, I'm looking for a clever domain name search service. I want to provide a list of keywords and the site will return with available .com domains relating to my search. An example - I work in the tourism niche and I want to find available travel related .com domains for about 50 locations. I provide a list of words such as "travel", "visit", "goto", "holidays", and I provide a second list with all the locations, example "London", "Paris,", "Berlin", etc... The domain search tool would then mix up my two lists of keywords and check to see if variants such as travellondon.com, londonholidays.com, gotoberlin.com, etc... are free to register. I then go off and buy those domains and have some epic wins. Does this tool exist?
