Title Tag

[Tiedoctor]

Is there any value in adding semantically similar words in the title tag? For instance, I have an alcohol rehab website www.alcohol-rehab.ltd.uk, I offer local search pages too.

Would the title tag "Alcohol Rehab Bedfordshire | Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinics Beds" Be more valuable than "Alcohol Rehab Clinics Bedfordshire | www.alcohol-rehab.ltd.uk"

And is is worth while having the url in each title tag?

Also is it worth while (seo wise) writing a description tag for each page, other than for a call to action that is?

Title tag is very important, and should reflect the content of what is in your page.

I would always make these as descriptive as possible  and try to add the main key phrase as near as possible to the front of the tag.

I would never ever add a URL to the title tag, you are trying I assume to rank for a phrase as opposed to getting a URL ranked of you see what I mean, so no, I would not advice adding a URL to the title tag as it is taking up space ... Of course if the word Alcohol Rehab are important to your ranking  by all means use a descriptive tag containing those words in your title tag.

Yes, add meta tag description to all pages, and try and make them as descriptive as possible  they wont help in ranking a phrase, but if your results show up in the SERP for a phrase, a good description can help  potential visitors to your site gain some more information.

A lot of snippets under your URL in the SERP contain your description TAG, and well you want to insure your showcase and inform about your page.

Hope that helps

Hi Tiedoctor,

Yes, here you mentioned two title Tag's

1) Alcohol Rehab Bedfordshire | Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinics Beds

2) Alcohol Rehab Clinics Bedfordshire | www.alcohol-rehab.ltd.uk

According to your business "Alcohol Rehab" is the targeted keyword rite.

According to search engine rules if you a domain having the targeted or mostly likely keyword as a domain name then search engines will give you the preference to that domain.

And i did little bit change to your Title here.

In these two titles " 1 " (Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinics Beds | Alcohol-Rehab-UK Bedfordshire)  the best option, "Alcohol Rehab" it acts as a user search query and targeted keyword for your domain as well as your Brand isn't it.

And you fired this "And is is worth while having the url in each title tag?"

Answer is : "No need".

Because any way your title (" 1 ") is having both your business brand name and keyword.

And SEO wise:

I took a tour on your website it is having a good description and keywords you can add more too also, title you can keep " 1 " (Your wish).

And under the Articles tab, you have a good Articles with a quality content, but all these articles are lacking "Title","Description","Keywords". If you add all these things, more weight it will get.

And when ever a new page or article got added to your site, try to submit sitemap immediately.

Thank you....
