TITLE & META DESCRIPTION CHECKER

SERP, stands for Search Engine Results Page becomes the important medium of the results of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) activities. This work demands special attention from every marketer, from junior to senior level. The three most important attributes for SERP are URL, Page Title, and Meta Description

URL is a representative of your brand/website. That's why the domain age and popularity become important. For example: when the cmlabs brand often appears on the Google SERP, Bing, and Yahoo, the reader will naturally give higher trust, so it has potential to get clicked first. Likewise with crawlers or bots. The more keywords successfully captured in a particular domain, the domain-authority website will be higher and continue to be recommended by search engines to answer users' questions.

1. Make it easier to identify documents on the website
2. To make it easier to name a website address containing a document
3. URL characters make it easier for users to remember the website addresses they have accessed
4. URL characters are used to identify images, files, videos and other documents

1. Relative URL

   Relative URL has a non-standard layout and it only refers to a document you open at that moment.

2. Absolute URL

   Absolute URL comes with the document location and domain. This URL has a different order from the Relative URL. Relative URLs generally have an arrangement format, namely: domain-directory-document which means that in a domain on each page, there is a directory containing a document or a file. Meanwhile, the Absolute URL only has the format of the document location and domain.

Page Title is one of the entrances to your website. When the title is interesting to click on, and informative enough to answer the user's questions briefly, then your website will have high potential for clicks. Continuous and consistent optimization will affect one important metric in SEO, namely Click-Through Rate. More than that, search engines will also understand if your website is relevant in answering certain questions, so the search engine will display your article to users who ask related questions.

1. Using Main Keywords in the Title

   A keyword is one of the important things when creating content on a website. This should not be forgotten and the main keyword must be included in the page title and Meta Description. Put the main keyword in the Title is best to be put at the beginning of the sentence. Why should it be placed on the front? This is because search engines will limit the length of the Page Title. Now, if the keyword is placed on the front, the keyword will automatically be read by search engines and will not be cut off.

   However, the use of keywords at the front of the Page Title would also justify the meaning of the Page Title. When you put the main keyword at the beginning, make sure it is smoothly read. If not, there might be a mismatch with the meaning of the content. If it is not possible to put keywords at the beginning, there is no need to force it. The most important thing you should do is pay attention to the length of the page title, so it would not be cut off by Search Engines.

2. Length Limit of the Title Page

   In general, the length of a Page Title is 50-60 characters. If the length of the Page Title exceeds the number, search engines will usually trim the page title.

   Make sure that the Page Title contains meaning and information about the content or information that will be presented on a website.
