But the goal is to write your content with the reader in mind. It’s a balance between creating good content and making sure you jump through a few hoops along the way. But the customer is always the biggest focal point.

Meta descriptions will help your customers determine if they actually want to click your link. So you might rank well in SERPS because of your backlinks and title tagging, but if your meta description isn’t what a customer is looking for, then you’ll get skipped when it really counts.

Thanks for the informative article.

Ah yes. For years, SEO experts have been arguing about where to put the primary keyphrase in the Title. :) It’s great when you can put it in the first few words – especially if you’re dealing with a highly competitive term. At the same time, if that means that your Title is going to sound clunky – and it’s not going to “pop” off the SERP – I’d place it somewhere within those 60ish characters instead.

Thanks!

So glad you have picked up on this topical question and provided everyone with a best practice guideline answer.

I suppose one other point that some will argue is where then to place that vital keyword term/keyword phrase in the title tag? As some old school veterans will suggest having these as the first words in the title tag as it has been said placing them further away from the start dilutes the power of the page from ranking better.

In my own opinion I think as long as your keyword phrase or term is within those 60ish characters you refer to and the title reads well and gives a great indication to the searcher what the topic of the page is about, this should achieve visitor conversion and get people onto that page from the SERPS.

Would appreciate your view on that and thanks again for another great relevant post.
