      Hi Guys,

      Am I write in saying google will take / create many variable from your title tag?

      Graphic, Web Design and Online Marketing in Ireland | Company Name

      results:

      Graphic Design, Web design, Web design in Ireland, Online Marketing in Ireland, Online Marketing, Graphic and Web Design, etc etc. (plus lots of long tail there as well).

      Would this be considered the optimal way as 'Design' is the common denominator for Graphic & Web. Then Ireland can be common to every other keyword such as Graphic design, Web design, Online Marketing. (in ireland)

      The reason why I ask is:

      1. lately I've notice title tags being stuffed with keywords and don't actually read correctly in the SERP

      2. My suggested way could have more benefits plus it reads well.

      Your thoughts, thanks.

        The example you offered would not be recommended as title tags.

        You want to preferable focus one keyword per page. You also want to gain your localization (i.e. Ireland) by having Ireland mentioned on your page and through links from websites in Ireland.

        Title suggestions:

        Graphic Design | Company Name

        Web Design | Company Name

        Online Marketing | Company Name

        I am sure you can look at other companies and see titles similar to your original suggestion. I am also sure that all things being equal, your page would rank higher then theirs for each key term if you used titles as per my recommendation.

          Agreed with Ryan for the most part here - especially competitive short tail words like web design or web development. If you must, at least make it readable... "Graphic Web Design & Online Marketing in Ireleand"
