Title tags written to be clicked
Each title leads with the words searchers use, fits the results page, and stays unique across the site.
The Problem
Your Pages Rank on Page One and Still Don't Get Clicked
Titles and descriptions get written once at launch, copied across templates, and forgotten. Years later, they no longer match what people search, and Google starts writing its own.
Low clicks
Pages rank on page one, but few people click.
Low clicks
Titles and descriptions rewritten from each page's impressions and click-through rate.
Duplicates
Half the product pages share one theme description.
Duplicates
CMS templates pull each page's own details into its description.
Cut-off titles
Long titles end mid-word in the results.
Cut-off titles
Titles lead with the words searchers look for, so truncation cuts nothing important.
Share previews
Shared links show cookie banner text, not your offer.
Share previews
Open Graph and X card tags set on every key template.
You open Search Console and find your best guide sitting at position 4 with thousands of impressions and hardly any clicks. Its title still names last year. Half your product pages share one description from a theme setting, and 200 blog posts have titles cut off mid-word. When someone shares your pricing page in Slack, the preview shows cookie banner text. Google fills the gaps with whatever it finds on the page.
We start with your Search Console data, URL by URL: impressions, position, and click-through rate. Pages that earn impressions get titles and descriptions written by hand to match what people actually search. The long tail gets CMS templates that pull real product, location, or article details, so nothing is left blank or duplicated. Then we fix robots, canonical, and social tags and re-check clicks after 28 days. Your rankings start paying in clicks, not just impressions.
Written from click data
Each title and description starts from the page's impressions, position, and click-through rate in Search Console.
Templates for the long tail
Product, location, and blog templates pull real page details, so no URL ships with a blank tag.
Rewrites checked in results
We compare what Google shows with what you wrote and fix the pages it keeps rewriting.
Our Meta Tag Optimization Process
From Free Meta Tag Audit to Better Click-Through in Five Clear Steps
You see every proposed title and description in a sheet before anything changes on your site. Nothing goes live until you approve it, and you get a click report after 28 days.
We crawl your site and pull 3 months of Search Console data to find missing, duplicate, cut-off, and underperforming tags. You get the URL count, the pages worth writing by hand, and a fixed price.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built and improved websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Marketing Teams Trust Us With Their Search Snippets
Metadata for SEO looks small, but it decides whether a ranking turns into a visit. We treat each tag as copy, test it against real data, and leave you templates you can keep using.
Every title read like a searcher
A title has to make sense to a person scanning 10 results in a few seconds. We read each one that way before it goes into the sheet.
No keyword stuffing
Repeating a keyword 3 times in a title makes results look spammy and gives Google a reason to rewrite it. One clear phrase and a real benefit work better.
Templates from real data
Long-tail pages get descriptions built from their own price, location, or topic. Google itself says generated descriptions suit large database-driven sites when they read well.
We check what Google shows
Google can swap your title for a heading or link text when it finds a problem. We compare the live results with what you wrote and fix the cause.
Changes through approval
Every tag sits in a shared sheet for your review before it touches the site. We publish through your CMS or staging, not by editing a live theme blind.
Templates you keep
The tag sheet, the CMS templates, and the writing rules stay with your team. New pages can follow the same pattern without calling us.

Good fit
Marketing teams with flat click-through
Your pages hold page one positions, but Search Console shows impressions climbing while clicks stay flat month after month.
Stores with thousands of product pages
Your theme gives every product the same description, and your meta data SEO was last touched when the store launched.
Teams after a redesign or migration
You moved to a new CMS, and titles came across truncated, duplicated, or replaced by the page name on hundreds of URLs.
Publishers with large article archives
You publish daily, writers fill in titles in a hurry, and older posts still carry dates and offers that expired.
SaaS teams whose links get shared
Your pricing and feature pages get shared in Slack and on social networks, and the previews show the wrong image and text.
Not a fit
Pages need full rewrites
Your titles are fine, but the page copy itself is thin or off-target. On-Page SEO Services rewrites headings, copy, and links on the pages Google shows.
Want findings, not changes
You want a scored review of a few key pages with every fix written out for your team. Our On-Page SEO Audit does that for 5 to 40 pages.
Rich results and schema
You need product ratings, prices, or other structured data in results rather than better titles. Schema Markup Services handles JSON-LD and rich result testing.
Budget under $500
Your site has fewer than 20 pages, or your budget is under $500. If your SEO plugin and a free afternoon in Search Console cover it, we'll tell you before we quote.

Projects start at $500 for up to 50 key URLs with titles and descriptions written by hand. The Site-Wide Meta Set costs $1,000 for up to 300 URLs and adds templates and social tags. Meta Templates at Scale costs $1,450 for up to 1,500 URLs. Larger sites get a fixed quote after the free meta tag audit.
Most new titles appear within a few days to a few weeks, once Google recrawls each page. We request recrawls for key URLs in Search Console to speed that up. Click-through rate needs about 28 days of data to compare fairly, which is why every plan ends with a 28-day click report.
It's a line of HTML in a page's head that tells search engines and browsers something about the page without showing it on screen. For SEO, the description and robots tags matter most, along with the title element that travels with them. Visitors don't see these tags on the page, but they shape how it appears in results.
A title tag names the page, and a meta description summarizes it, both for search results. Your meta tag title is usually the clickable headline in Google, and the description often becomes the short text under it. Google may pick a heading instead of a vague or outdated title, and it writes its own snippet when page text matches a search better.
It's the HTML tag that holds a page's summary for search engines, placed in the head with its name set to description. Google sets no length limit for it, but results cut long snippets to fit the screen, so we put the key point first. Each page needs its own, since repeated descriptions don't help searchers tell pages apart.
There's no fixed number, because HTML accepts any name, but Google lists about a dozen it supports. They include description, robots, googlebot, viewport, charset, refresh, rating, and google-site-verification. Open Graph and X card tags serve social networks rather than Google. Google Search ignores the keywords meta tag, so we leave it out.
Yes. Stuffing the same keyword into a title or description makes results look spammy, and Google may replace the title with text from the page. Long titles packed with variations get cut off anyway. We write one clear phrase per title and a description that reads like a sentence, because people click what they understand at a glance.
The ones that matter are the title, the meta description, the robots tag, and the viewport tag, plus the canonical link beside them. The title shapes your headline in results, and the description shapes the snippet. Robots and canonical decide which pages appear at all. Open Graph tags don't affect rankings, but they control how shared links look.
Google rewrites a title when it judges it unhelpful: too long, stuffed with keywords, outdated, or the same as other pages. It may use the page's main heading, other prominent text, or link text instead. We find the pages it rewrites, fix the cause in the title or the heading, and check the result again after the recrawl.
Yes, we work inside the tools you already use. On WordPress that means Yoast SEO or Rank Math, on Shopify the search listing fields and theme code, and on Webflow the page and collection settings. On-page SEO meta tags for template pages are set once in the CMS, so new pages fill in correctly. You keep every template and the tag sheet after handover.
