Would having a + plus sign between keywords in meta title have an effect on SEO?

[LexisClick1]

I have seen one of my clients' competitors do this in their meta title and it got me a little intrigued... I understand that google uses the + sign as an operator in adwords, and to a certain extent, as a search tool, but would it help or make any difference to the SEO in the meta title/data  (eg. 'SEO+Marketing+Services')?

Thanks

No way. Not at all. Not only that, but it would definitely get you less clicks even if you did get better rankings.

Always remember: Your page's title is the thing your potential customer/user/client will be clicking on to first visit your page. This is a very important point of first contact in the digital marketing world. Think about the way you search and what gets you to click on links from Google. I bet it's somewhere around 95% based on the title present.

If you were Googling "Xbox One Games" and saw:

• Xbox+One+Games+Review+PS4+Games
• Xbox One Games Reviewed and Uncovered

Which one would you click?
