Five title patterns that win clicks for local businesses, with real examples — I’ll email them to you with the full pre-publish checklist.

A good snippet wins the click — but only if the page ranks at all. The free grader checks your titles, speed, and on-page SEO in one go.
The snippet is the last step
A perfect snippet on a page targeting the wrong keyword is wasted polish. Work backwards: pick the keyword with the free local keyword generator, build the page with the content brief generator, then come back here to write the snippet.
And if you're not sure what your existing pages' titles look like to Google, the free website grader checks them across your whole site — along with the speed and mobile problems that decide whether the snippet ever gets seen.
Questions
How long should a page title be?
Google truncates titles at roughly 580 pixels of width — usually 55–60 characters, but a title full of wide letters truncates sooner, which is why this tool measures pixels rather than just counting characters. Put the main keyword in the front half so it survives even if the tail gets cut.
Does the meta description affect my ranking?
Not directly — Google has confirmed it is not a ranking factor. But it heavily affects whether people click your result, and click-through is what your ranking earns you. A description with the keyword (which Google bolds) and one honest, specific reason to click consistently outperforms generic marketing copy.
Why does Google sometimes show a different title or description than mine?
Google rewrites snippets when it thinks your text does not match the search — typically when the title is stuffed, vague, or duplicated across pages. The best defence is a title that plainly says what the page is, and a unique description per page. You cannot force your snippet, but honest and specific usually gets kept.
Should every page have a different title and description?
Yes, without exception. Duplicate titles make Google pick which page to show — and it often picks wrong, or shows neither well. Every page should target one search and say so in its own words. If two pages would have the same title, they should probably be one page.
