Writing unique meta titles for canonicalised products or not?

[TheOnlineWarp]

Hi all,

I have a question (duh): I have like 10 colours of the same product. I will make one colour the canonical, do I still need to write unique meta titles for the others? I am almost certain it doesn't add value at all, but wanted to double check since I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks a lot in advance and have a great day!

No, you do not need to write unique meta titles for the others. However, you may want to swap out the name of the color so that the title tag of the page reflects the page that the user is on. This is really more for 'user experience' since than for the search engines or for SEO.

For example, if someone likes one particular color, they may choose to bookmark that page in their web browser. If they bookmark it, then the title tag would appear in the title of the bookmark--so having the correct product information there (the color) would be helpful.

Bernadette said it well. It won't necessarily hurt you, but user experience is very important. It's helpful to see unique information about each page in the meta when a user searches for something; that way, they know to click on your page for their search.

Also, it's a great best practice to give every page a unique meta description and title no matter what.
