      Hello! I have a wordpress based blog/website and I was wondering what were the most important things to put in my title.

      I'm a wedding photographer.

      I think the location of the shoot is important and the fact that it's wedding photography, but is it important to try and put my company name (Celynnen Photography) in it too?!

      It's very hard to keep the titles short!

      Ioan

        Hi Ioan,

        If I were you I would concentrate on the location and the fact that it is wedding photography. I worked on SEO for a friend who has a wedding car business and he ranks very well for location and service specific searches using the same technique - we didn't brand the titles as his meta descriptions and web address clearly did this for him in the SERPs.

        Using this technique you can cover more specific and gain long tail keyword traffic - you can have titles such a

        wedding photography (location)

        photos from x's wedding in (location)

        Wedding photographs at (location)

        There are so many variants and possibilities you can cover...

        Hope this helps!

          I totally agree.  Going a bit deeper, each page should have its own clear focus and the Titles should reflect each page's focus.  For the home page, however, location and service is the way to go.  Good answer, Matt.
