The Importance of Title Tags
As part of our array of wonderful services for translation companies, we provide SEO Audits to check that our clients’ websites are fit for SEO-purpose. A common problem we often find is missing title tags or poorly written title tags.
What is a title tag?
A title tag is a simple bit of HTML in each website page that informs search engines about the content on your site. It is usually the piece of text that Google, for example, will show in search engine results as per the purple text below for our website.
Now have a look at the title tags used by some of the top LSPs for their SEO as per our January 2018 SERPs report.
