: Should every page on my site have our company name in the title? How different should the <title> tags be for each page on my domain? Which of the following are better examples are "better

@Ogunnowo487

The content of the title element should identify documents


[…] even when they are used out of context, for example in a user's history or bookmarks, or in search results.


So for a typical website, each page’s title should consist of two parts (in that order):


what the page is about ("About Us")
to which site this page belongs ("Example Dog Grooming Company")


(Exception: the home page, which can contain the site name only.)

The first part often contains more than just the main content heading, e.g., metadata like category or page type ("… - Blog", "Review: …", etc.).

For the second part it can make sense to abbreviate the site name if the shorter form is also meaningful for and known by your visitors.

I would go with some version of option #1 because its clean and consistent which will help with click through rate. Whenever you are dealing with titles, think about the best way to quickly convey to the person what the page is about.

For SEO I would focus on local. For your home page I would do something like "Dog Grooming - City, State | Example Dog Grooming Company". I would also do some version of this on the contact us and about us pages.

Note: All of these are just suggestions. If you really want this to be effective you will need to do some keyword analysis and look at your local competition. I wouldn't over think the titles too much. For a local business your reputation and quality of services will be key and not how much your Contact Us pages has been optimized.
