# SEO On-Page: Title Tag Guides optimization of the HTML title tag for search engines and SERP display. **When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output. ## Scope (On-Page SEO) - **Title tag**: Primary search snippet; primary keyword near start; unique per page ## Length by Language Google truncates by **pixel width** (~580–600px desktop), not character count. Character limits are approximate—CJK chars are wider (~2× Latin), so fewer fit in the same pixels. | Script / Language | Title (chars) | Notes | |-------------------|---------------|-------| | **Latin** (English, Spanish, French, etc.) | 50–60 | ~55 recommended | | **CJK** (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) | 25–35 | Full-width chars; 25–30 desktop; 20–28 mobile; use pixel checker when available | | **Cyrillic** (Russian, etc.) | 50–55 | Slightly wider than Latin | | **Arabic, Hebrew** | 30–40 | RTL; variable width | **Pixel tools**: Use a pixel-accurate checker for CJK—font and locale affect display. **Multilingual**: Use locale-specific limits; don't translate then truncate. See **localization-strategy**, **translation**. ## Initial Assessment **Check for project context first:** If `.claude/project-context.md` or `.cursor/project-context.md` exists, read it for brand voice and target keywords. Identify: 1. **Page type**: Homepage, landing, blog, product, etc. 2. **Primary keyword**: Target search query 3. **Language / script**: Apply length rule above 4. **Brand**: Optional brand append at end ## Best Practices | Item | Guideline | |------|-----------| | **Length** | Per language (see table above); Google truncates beyond ~600px | | **Front-load** | Main phrase first; branding at end | | **Keyword** | Include primary keyword near the start | | **Unique** | One unique title per page | | **Clarity** | Match search intent; avoid keyword stuffing | | **Engagement** | Numbers, power words, questions can boost CTR ~36% | | **H1 alignment** | H1 should align with title; Google may rewrite titles if they mismatch content or intent | **Example**: Bad: "SEO Tips for Small Business" → Better: "11 SEO Tips That Actually Work (2026)" ## Output Format - **Recommended title** (with character count for target language) - **Alternatives** (if A/B testing) ## GSC-Driven Optimization For pages with low CTR despite good position, use google-search-console to identify opportunities. Compare actual CTR vs expected by position; optimize title for pages with CTR gap. ## Related Skills - **google-search-console**: CTR analysis, identify low-CTR pages for title optimization - **meta-description**: Meta description pairs with title in SERP - **localization-strategy, translation**: Multilingual metadata; locale-specific length - **serp-features**: SERP features; standard result appearance in context - **heading-structure**: H1 should align with title tag - **open-graph**: og:title for social sharing (often mirrors title) - **schema-markup**: Structured data complements metadata
