Q: How do we write title tags and meta descriptions?

Start with search intent. Put the primary keyphrase near the front of the title tag, then state a clear benefit. Keep the title around 50–60 characters. Write a unique meta description of about 140–160 characters that expands on the promise and, when helpful, includes a soft call to action. Avoid keyword stuffing, keep each page distinct, and review click-through rates to improve over time.

Write title tags and meta descriptions that match search intent and set clear expectations. Lead with the primary keyphrase, state the value, and keep copy specific to the page. Aim for title tags of about 50–60 characters and meta descriptions of about 140–160 characters. Use active voice, include a benefit, and add a gentle call to action when it helps click-through.
