      I am seeing duplicate title errors, but when I go to fix the problem, the titles are not actually identical.

      Any advice?

        Are you seeing those from Google Webmaster Console or from SEOMoz Crawls ?

            If this is true, just ignore it. But look closely at it because this sounds fishy to me. I've never heard of these being incorrect. Duplicate title tags aren't necessarily deal breakers from Google's standpoint. More of a usability issue I'd say.

              Use Screaming Frog or another crawler and do a complete On-page Audit for your site to make sure. I hope this helps.

                Hi Becky,

                I apologize for the delayed response. Q&A questions have to be manually assigned to the Help Team, so I'm sorry this wasn't sent over to us sooner.

                I went into your account to investigate the issue and it looks like you have a number of campaigns, a few of which are showing the duplicate title error, so I wasn't sure which site you might be seeing the titles incorrectly reported as duplicates. If you let me know which campaign you are having issues on, I can look into why we may be incorrectly reporting duplicate titles since we should only show that error for pages with identical title tags. If you prefer not to share your campaign information in the public forum you can email your examples of some the pages that are reported to have the error but don't to help@moz.com with Attn: Chiaryn in the subject line.

                I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

                Chiaryn
