Check one Meta Title per day again!

The secret of Meta Titles is there is NO secret! Most people just don’t bother doing them properly (or at all) on their website, and they are missing out. You may remember this one from 6 months ago!
We are repeating it because your Meta Title is SO important to Google we want you to check or finish the work you did last time. Also check any new pages you have created recently.

Meta Titles are the most important elements on your website when it comes to the search engines and Google. Your task for the next three weeks is easy-

1 Bookmark in your calendar to check one Meta Title a day.

2 Open the admin and click on Manage Pages.

3 For each page click on edit, then the SEO button on the editor toolbar.

4 Create an EFFECTIVE meta title by sticking to the following-
* It must be unique to the page i.e. can’t be the same as other pages!
* Think about what the page is about
* Think about the search engine phrases you are trying to optimise your site for
* Maximum length is 70 characters (there is a handy countdown next to the Meta Title field in the editor).
* Write it kind of like a sentence but with all those good keywords and phrases in it that are specifically about this page! E.g.-
“Christchurch attractions & activities - dining out, Canterbury wines”
