Include Site Name in Page Titles or not

[anavasis]

i would like to ask if it is a good practice or not to Include Site Name in Page Titles.

My page is not selling products it is about plagiarism checker tool. i will give one example in one page we are writing about the plagiarism types so the page title is plagiarism types and then is the site name.

what is the better practice? Keep it or not?

thanks in advance

Yes, I typically always do and place it after the topic of the page:

Plagiarism Types | Brand

It helps with brand recognition.  Just remember that if is a long brand name it will get truncated. Also, make sure you have a compelling meta descriptions to improve click-throughs.

Good luck!

Hi there

I like to include brand or site names from a branding perspective, it just looks more authoritative to me and it helps the user remember who they are reading. It also helps from a branded search perspective.

Let me know if this helps or if you have questions beyond. Good luck!

Hey anavasis,

Including your site name in your page title is good. But including in all the pages may not be good. you can choose to include the site name in the pages which have short title length and which you think are most important content of your's.

For sharing the pages(facebook,twitter,.etc) you can use custom sharing titles including your brand name.

Hope its is useful to you.

thanks,

goodluck!

Hi There!

Blue Corona is an Internet Marketing company so this is exactly the sort of thing we help our clients with! We have years of experience tracking and testing different SEO strategies so you can take our word on this one!

A title tag is limited to only 70 characters so you want to use this small space wisely! (Anything over 70 characters will not help you, only hurt you and confuse search engines) Given this small amount of space, you do not have room to put your company name in there. You may have room for your name in the Meta Description, but never the title tag.

In the title tag you want to enter keywords and location modifiers. Let's do an example. Let's pretend you are creating a page for plumbing repair service in Tampa, Florida. You should use the title tag:

Plumbing Repair in Tampa, FL | Florida Plumbing Service & Repair

Don't agree. Many time you have room for your company or branding and it is a good idea. It's an easy way to gain market awareness.  Also, stuffing a ton of kw's in a title can look spammy.

I was looking for someone to say that exactly.

I fully share you with that.

Here's what I found. I am trying to get the skinny on this too.
